Peripheral Cities and Their Regions in the Dutch Urban System until 1900

The Journal of Economic History, 1988, vol. 48, issue 2, 357-371

Abstract: In the Netherlands a kind of urban system emerged very early in the sea provinces, but inland the country cities functioned as regional capitals without many links to cities outside their regions. After 1800 political and economic unification accelerated and the peripheral towns lost their independence. Using two indicators—the division of labor and migration—the article analyzes how this process of integration took shape after 1850.
