Using this data and other historical sources a reconstruction has been made of the medieval town defences of Utrecht. Central stands the question whether the construction of the town defences was a plan or process and how this enormous endeavour was realized. First the general history and background of Utrecht are discussed, followed by the reconstruction of the town defences. Then the town defences are divided into different phases. Finally a comparison between the town defences of Utrecht and different other towns in both the Netherlands and abroad will be made.Show less
