Abstract

Nowadays, as before the Industrial Revolution, there is no sharp contrast between landscape and townscape. Liège's territory included not only the core of the City protected by mediaeval walls but also extended suburbds. Both types of neighbourhoods kept traces of traditional agricultural occupations. Woods, fields, meadows, vineyards are located. Various data are scrutinised: former place names, 19th cetury censuses dealing with agriculture and its manpower, cadastral maps. Origins and decay of such features are briefly surveyed.
