The key questions are how socio-economic inequality was reflected in the urban social topography and to what extent these spatial patterns reproduced inequality. Taking sixteenth-century Leiden as a case study, the spatial patterns of economic inequality and social segregation in this town are first examined. Next, the level of location-based inequality is explored by mapping and calculating urban spatial patterns of service accessibility UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/56038/1/14223.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/83022 ER -
