Abstract
This paper focuses upon the appearing new image of the urban space in mid-16th century seen in the town planning of ‘Nieuwstad’ of Antwerp. We have found unpublished drawings for the development of the Nieuwstad during mid-16th century in the collection of Stadsarchief Antwearpen, and tried to reconstruct them in exact size for formal analysis. We have found that the project installing canals and quays for large ships was changed several times and developed to the rational grid plan, that is obviously different from the district of the Middle Ages. That could be estimated as one of the developing stages of town planning of Northern Renaissance in Low Countires.
