"Urban Space in the Ottoman World" is a running series of podcasts dedicated to the history of Istanbul and other Ottoman cities. It explores the socioeconomic and cultural history of urban settings in the Ottoman Empire, examining unique aspects of Ottoman cities as well as parallels between urban spaces in the Ottoman world and elsewhere. This series takes listeners outside of the palace to live the experiences of a wide range of social classes, dabble in the sights, sounds, and tastes of Ottoman Istanbul, and understand how people felt about the urban environment and used architecture and urban space as a means of political and cultural expression.
