Urban Networks in Russia, 1750-1800, and Pre-modern Periodization

Focusing on the evolution of cities and societies in premodern times, the author refines previous theories to explore Russia's development leading up to the Industrial Revolution. This work allows for comparisons of urbanization across five countries, including England and France, and establishes a systematic framework for analyzing cities of different sizes. The unique approach offers insights into the interconnectedness of urban growth and societal changes during this transformative period.
