The five articles amply demonstrate the intense and multi-directional circulation of experts and practices related to urban reform between Eastern European cities in the period from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. This trans-urban approach enables historians to investigate how ideas, concepts and objects change when they “move” between urban spaces. These cities formed a dynamic and dialectic relationship, exchanging and appropriating practical and highly modern urban knowledge. In this trans-urban setting, the term “peripheral” is, at best, a category used by historical actors to legitimize the implementation of provisions, yet with little explanatory power. Historians will have to continue to devise and apply alternative conceptual frameworks in order to grasp the complexity of this Eastern European urban space.
