Circulating practices: Networks and exchange between emerging cities in Europe's
Borderlands, 1880-1945 Until now the focus of the research in the case of the cities of Eastern and Southern Europe was mainly migration and institutions of technology transfer (such as universities) suggesting a transfer of knowledge and practices from the center to the periphery. But instead of following this topos of urban history, the proposed panel of the Herder-Institute Germany concentrates on the less researched exchanges of actors, practices and strategies of knowledge between the cities of the European borderlands such as East Europe. This will be achieved with a special focus on the production and distribution of civic engineering, which played a particularly important role in the modernization of the architectural and infrastructural system of these emerging cities in the late 19th and early 20th century with their fast growing population.
