The European Middle Ages are characterized not only by a large number of city foundations, but also by many city expansions. However, the causes of these extension processes, the actors involved, and the forms of expansion differ greatly from city to city. What can these expansions tell us about urban life in the Middle Ages? The conference "Urban Expansion and Urban Dynamics in the Middle Ages" ("Stadterweiterung und urbane Dynamik im Mittelalter"), funded by the Cluster of Excellence ROOTS, 6-9 June 2022, brought together different research perspectives on medieval urban expansions and led to an interdisciplinary exchange on topics such as urban morphology, architecture, legal and economic history, and everyday culture. Now the detailed conference report has been published on the historiographical information and communication platform H-Soz-Kult.
