Locations of events in 1656
/This map visualises the events in the Attestatieboek of 1656 shows a city at the verge of further expansion [1]. A concept for the upcoming expansion can already be seen planned out on Blaeu’s map. We see quite some activity in the suburban area just outside the city walls that was later incorporated in the city.
The historical map tile in the background is from 1649 by Joan Blaeu. The heat map gives an insight in the density of events. The heatmap coupled with the street network of 1625 made by Weixuan Li.
