- Meat as an Urban QuestionThe Ghent Slaughterhouse in the Nineteenth Century
- Abstract
- In this article, the case of the Ghent Slaughterhouse (1857) is
mobilised to show how changing ideas on ‘good’ and ‘bad’ nature
restructured the food supply of the city. It retraces the economic,
political and societal reasoning behind the decision to rethink the
urban metabolism through the introduction of new legislation and the
construction of buildings and urban areas, staging the meat supply as a
distinctively urban question.
