ABSTRACT
The current chapter features the main idiosyncrasies of Jewish neighbourhoods as explained in the preceding part using four case studies. As a consequence of the focus on methodological issues, the examples demonstrate the range of analytical applications. As stated in the above considerations, each town had its specifics that should be considered when further extending the case studies’ database. A brief introduction to the history of each town and its Jewish community precedes the analysis of specific features. The key concepts revealed in case study analyses use the methods already discussed in the methodology section of this current book. Besides, we will consider a few other properties which are subject to urban morphology analyses. Along with the analyses of the urban environments, which should reveal both their idiosyncrasies and the general features, the chapter briefly summarises previous research on architectural heritage. It concludes with a suggestion for further studies required to fully understand the remaining urban structures – a repository of a no longer existing social content.
