Contents

This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Urbanisation* and Functional Differentiation, which took place from Thursday, October 25 to Saturday, October 27, 1979, at the University of Amsterdam and the Free University in Amsterdam.

The conference was organised by the Dutch Urban History Group, an inter-university and inter-disciplinary study group involved with the history of cities and with urbanisation in the widest sense of the word. The study group was founded in the spring of 1974 on the initiative of the late Prof. de Jonge and Prof. Wieringa (who has been chairman ever since 1975). On an international level, there has been contact with the Urban History Group in England, the Institut fr vergleichende Stdtegeschichte in Mnster, the Freie Universitt in Berlin and the Maison des Sciences de lHomme in Paris.

The initial initiative for a conference of this name was taken by H.A. Diederiks and M. Wagenaar. The central questions were focused on the comparative aspects of the process of urbanisation in the past few centuries in various countries, the ways in which the phenomenon of urbanisation is studied in various countries, what the most important factors are in determining the rate and direction of the urbanisation pattern etc.

These questions were dealt with at the conference.

In this book, in the papers () as well as the introduction and epilogue, urbanisation is approached from the various angles of the different disciplines and countries.

A number of organisations and individuals helped to make this international conference possible, and I am extremely grateful to them for their co-operation. In the first place, I would like to thank the Ministry of Education and Science, whose contribution was so essential to the international aspect of the conference. I would like to express my gratitude to the University of Amsterdam and the Free University in Amsterdam for the facilities which they made available to the conference.

A large number of staff members of the Institute of Geography and Planning at the Free University in Amsterdam worked to make publication of this book possible. I would like to thank Mr. Ter Haar, whose steady hand is evident in so many of the figures. In organising the conference and correcting the papers I received a great deal of help from various student-assistants. In particular, Guda Wildeboer and Ronald Kleine Rammelkamp did a large amount of work. Hanneke Hummeling was extremely helpful in typing the papers. I am very grateful to her, as I am to Miss Hilgeman and Miss Smelt for their work on the tapes and the texts themselves.

*Some of the authors used American spelling and others used British spelling, so that the reader is immediately struck by the different spelling of the key word urbani(s)(z)ation. In this international anthology, no attempt was made to introduce conformity in spelling; the papers were left as they were.
