The Amsterdam Centre for Urban History represents the largest research group in the Netherlands for the study of urban history. With about 30 established scholars and PhD candidates specialised in the field, the Centre aims to explore the history of urban societies from a long-term and broad geographic perspective: from Antiquity to the modern era, from Europe to Africa and the Middle East. Scholars at the Centre focus on a wide range of themes: from urban governance, economy, class and gender relations, to religion, ethnic identity, crime, health, housing, planning, leisure and representation. Most of the research, however, emerges from one fundamental question: how do people from various backgrounds live together in densely populated cities, in harmonious or more antagonistic ways? The role of institutions and the contested uses of urban space figure prominently in many of our research projects.
