    NATURE
    Located in Western Europe

    The Mediterranean Sea served as a major trading route.


    Geography
    The three major physical land features of Western Europe are Great European Plain, the Central Uplands, and the Alpine
    mountain system. The Great European Plain stretches east of the Pyrenees Mountains, in southern France and northern
    Spain to the Ural Mountains in Eastern Europe. It is here where a majority of the Western European agriculture takes
    place. The Central Uplands is a hilly and rugged plateau that crosses the central part of Europe.

    Climate
    The climate of Western Europe is a marine climate. Its abundant moisture comes from the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean
    moderates the temperature during the seasons, making the winter moist and mild, and the summer moist and cool. This
    climate primarily stays to the north of the Alps, thus considering the Alps a climatic divide.

    Food
    Wheat, a crop that has been grown since early times, grows though the moist and mild winter for the spring harvest. Deep
    rooted vines and trees also are grown, like olives and grape, grow near the warm Mediterranean.
    MAN
    People were inspired by the
    humanist ideals of questioning
    authority and valuing the worth
    of the individual

    Arts, architecture are valued


    and supported

    Being objective and the


    acceptance of curiosity and
    experimentation were
    important for the development
    of science.
    SOCIAL
    Trade was a major part of life in the
    Renaissance. It allowed for the
    exchange of ideas from place to place
    and culture to culture as merchants and
    visitors mingled as well as added to the
    wealth of many trading city-states. The
    increase in wealth led to patrons who
    were willing to fund for new buildings
    and art.

    The Renaissance was an age of rapid


    change during which people turned
    from medieval values of hierarchy,
    community, authority to embrace
    individualism and realism.

    Emergence of social support systems

    Typical Renaissance Social Hierarchy
    ruler or monarch is often only the head of state, not
    the head of government. Not as influential before

    The merchant class became extremely wealthy and powerful,


    much to the disdain of the nobility due T

    SHELLS
    The rapid urbanization of European
    society created densely-packed cities
    vulnerable to fire and plagues, dangers
    that crossed all lines of class and
    privilege and thus justified public
    intervention in sanitation, construction,
    and other aspects of city life.

    Mandates on building construction


    materials and methods, required the
    widening of certain streets as
    firebreaks.
    NETWORK
    Cities located on trade routes often became very rich.As states developed and became richer, new roads
    and bridges began to be built, often based on Roman designs.

    Boats were used for transportation in canals, rivers, and lakes. Boats were faster than land transportation.

    For traders, sailing proved to be a better option than traveling by land, as the network of roads that
    crisscrossed Europe was poor, and the few good roads that did exist were frequented by thieves.
    In the Western
    part of
    Europe, boats
    were used for
    transportation
    in canals,
    rivers, and
    lakes.

    WATER SUPPLY AND DAMS & DRAINAGE

    Aqueducts built by the Romans were used Renaissance engineers, architects, and artisans
    still used during this period designed dams and developed drainage techniques that
    were crucial for agricultural, commercial, and military
    successes and for the survival of threatened population
