SUMMARY:[Historikertag 2018] Urban Resilience in the Late Middle Ages (14th – 16th century)
DESCRIPTION:In 2013, the Rockefeller Foundation launched the 100 Resilient Cities program to help cities develop strategies for coping with the physical, social, and economic shocks of the 21st century. While the crises facing today’s cities are new, the need to handle them is not. Cities have been trying to shore up vulnerabilities, contend with disruptive events, and prevent societal collapse ever since there were such things as cities. The purpose of this section is to think about the resilience of cities from a historical perspective. Unlike the Rockefeller Foundation, the section’s speakers do not aim to provide answers to present-day problems; nor do they believe that resilience is per se positive, a view whose optimism careful scrutiny tends to complicate rather than endorse. Instead, they join the increasing numbers of historians who study resilience in past eras. Specifically, they investigate which challenges city councils in the 14th to 16th centuries perceived as chronic, imminent, and acute and how they confronted them. This section examines not only the decisions city leaders made and the measures they took, but also the interpretative paradigms on whose basis they identified weaknesses and disruptions, justified interventions, formed strategies, and selected or developed resources. Several questions, related to what might be called resilience management, run through all the talks: To what extent did council members tie their own interests to those of their estate, their council, and their city? How did they define the common good? And did they succeed in preserving the city’s social harmony?
