This study explores measurement systems used in medieval urban planning, suggesting effective methods for historical reconstruction.
This study examines plot divisions and units of measurement in regular medieval new towns in Central Europe, with a particular focus on historical Silesia. By applying the cosine quantogram method alongside GIS‐referenced cartographic sources and modular analysis, the research reconstructs the spatial organization of urban layouts. The results reveal the diversity of measurement systems used in town planning. By integrating historical records with digital approaches, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of medieval metrological practices and demonstrates the method's effectiveness in reconstructing spatial structures and its potential for broader applications in historical urbanism.
