Reading the city: Middelburg tour February 2012 in freezing weather

I really am proud that everybody survived the walk till the last minute of our tour in this freezing weather.

Thanks for your patience and for keeping up the speed. We visited certain spots in the city to observe and search clues of diverse dynamics in five different themes:

Theme 1: Spatial organization of cities
- Patterns and spatial form
- Land-uses
- Spatial history

Theme 2: Socio-spatial structure of cities
- Segregated neighbourhoods
- Socio-economic differentiation

Theme 3: Urban economy
- Changing location of economic functions
- Globalization

Theme 4: Diversity and multiculturality
- Residential segregation
- Ethnic entrepreneurship

Theme 5: Urban ecology
- Urban green

On Monday we'll talk about the indistrial capitalism and it's influence on the geography of cities.

Have a good weekend
