Venice of the North from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Venice of the North From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The following is an incomplete list of settlements nicknamed Venice of the North. The term Venice of the North refers to various cities in Northern Europe that contain canals, comparing them to Venice, Italy, which is renowned for its canals (see Grand Canal). Some of these nicknames (e.g. in the case of Amsterdam) date back centuries, while others like Birmingham are very recently given and invented by the cities' own PR teams.[1] List City/Town Country Photo References Ålesund Norway [2][3] Amiens France [4][5][6][7] Amsterdam Netherlands [8][9][10][11][12] Annecy France [13][14] Arendal Norway [15][16][17] Birmingham United Kingdom [18] Bornholm Denmark [19][20][21][22] Bourton-on-the-Water United Kingdom [23][24][25] Bruges Belgium [26] Bulandet and Værlandet Norway [27][28][29][30][31] Bydgoszcz Poland [32][33] Colmar France [34][13] Copenhagen Denmark [35][36][37][38] Dordrecht Netherlands [39][40] Emden Germany [41][42][43][44][45] Friedrichstadt Germany [46][47][48] Gdansk Poland [49][50][51][52] Giethoorn Netherlands [53] Glasgow-Maryhill United Kingdom [54][55][56] Haapsalu Estonia [57][58][59] Hamburg Germany [60] Henningsvær Norway [61][62] Kalisz Poland [63] London-Paddington United Kingdom [13] Lubeck Germany [64] Manchester United Kingdom [65][66][67] Papenburg Germany [68][69][70] Passau Germany [71][72][73][74] Saint Petersburg Russia [75] Schwerin Germany [76][77][78] Skipton United Kingdom [79][80] Stockholm Sweden [81][82][83][84][85][86] Stralsund Germany [87][88] Strasbourg France [89][90] Svolvær Norway [91][92] Tromsø Norway [93] Trondheim Norway [94] Wrocław Poland [95] Leeds United Kingdom [96] See also List of places called Venice of the East Little Paris Little Venice Monasterevin Paris of the East Paris of the West References 1.

  • Glasgow's New Town Hall: Imperialism, Nationalism and Civic Pride, 1877
    Urban History (2020), 1–19 doi:10.1017/S096392682000053X RESEARCH ARTICLE Glasgow’s new town hall: imperialism, nationalism and civic pride, 1877–1889 Miel Groten*† Faculty of Humanities, Department of Art & Culture, History, and Antiquity, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, De Boelelaan 1105, 1081 HV, Amsterdam, Netherlands *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract Nineteenth-century Glasgow was widely imagined and presented as the proud ‘Second City of the Empire’. This article investigates the implications of this identification with the empire by analysing Glasgow’s great town hall, built 1883–89, as the main manifest- ation of the city’s civic pride. It shows how the building’s architectural style, sculpture and inauguration ceremonies created a specific image of ‘imperial’ Glasgow which emphasized loyalty to Union and empire. Instead of undermining each other, the layered political alle- giances of civic pride, nationalism, unionism and imperialism were mutually reinforcing, shaping the town hall still in use today. ‘[T]o promote with zeal and perseverance the highest and best interests of this great community and of the empire to which it belongs.’ That was what in October 1889, Glasgow’s Lord Provost James King hoped the city’s new town hall would enable its municipal government to do.1 Coupling Glasgow’s fortunes to the British empire’s might seem a simple case of local chauvinism. However, in fact it was part of a widely held conviction that the city’s population size and industrial power made it of imperial significance as the ‘Second City of the Empire’. This article investi- gates how Glasgow’s new town hall, erected between 1883 and 1889, mediated this status.

  • Unpacking the Image of the Water City with the Theory of Imageability
    LANDSCAPE RESEARCH RECORD No. 5 UNPACKING THE IMAGE OF THE WATER CITY WITH THE THEORY OF IMAGEABILITY RISING, HOPE HUI Washington State University, [email protected] 1 ABSTRACT This study investigated how to design imageable cities with water using Lynch’s (1960) theory of imageability. It examined the contributions of imageability elements (landmarks, paths, nodes, edges, and districts) and components (structure, identity, and meaning) to the image of the water city. The author sampled 55 sketch maps from 60 participants in eight water cities and colored water elements blue to generate 55 colored maps. To measure uncolored map identifiability (UMI) and colored map identifiability (CMI) as dependent variables, raters 1 and 2 were asked to identify the city associated with each uncolored sketch map, and raters 3 and 4 were asked to identify the city associated with each colored sketch map. To assess the contribution of water (CW) to CMI, raters 3 and 4 were asked to indicate the extent to which the map’s blue features helped the raters identify the city on a three-point Likert scale. The contribution of water (CW) was used to weight CMI to generate the dependent variable of water- based colored map identifiability (WMI). The author used cognitive mapping, photovoice, and nonvisual protocols to measure waterscape attributes using imageabilty components, waterscape mappability, identifiability, and attachment as potential explanatory variables for UMI, CMI, and WMI. Regression analyses suggest that only canal mappability (the structure of water-based paths) significantly contributed to all measures for the image of the water city (UMI, CMI, and WMI) while controlling for the potential effects of gender, environmental exposure, age, income, education, and aquaphilia sensitivity baseline, which measured people’s attachment to water.
