Манастир и град: историјска парадигма обликовања и организовања европског урбаног живота
The Monastery And The City: A Historical Paradigm Of Shaping And Organizing The European Urban Life

Summary/Abstract: The author's basic assumption in this paper is that the Western European monasteries belong to that group of institutions that can be considered to be the primary city development factors in revitalizing, shaping and organizing the European urban life in the period from the 11th century until Renaissance. Elaborating on that assumption, a sufficiently complex and multidimensional phenomenon is distinguished, one that may have the primary generative features in shaping a much more complex entity such as the city. That is the monastery in the West, understood in the vein of Lewis Mumford and Georges Duby: as a city development factor in a historical era and at a specific geographic area.
