Monasteries and convents have been key elements in determining the future of urban growth and development. The regions of Andalusia and North Rhine-Westphalia are two territorial locations where one medium-sized city stands out in each of them. These are Écija and Aachen. An analysis and comparison of each city is carried out following a methodology which allows for the identification of the monastic system of the medieval and modern city. The research covers the first appearance of monasteries in the two cities, the exchanges between city and monastery, the urban transformations produced by these buildings and their current consideration as heritage through its protection and conservation. %F PUB:(DE-HGF)11 %9 Dissertation / PhD Thesis %R 10.18154/RWTH-2024-02843 %U https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/981187
