Re: OT - Size of medieval capitals
Well, the city i was born in was one of the biggest during the middelages (Bruges).
It counted between 40.000 and 45.000 people between 1200 - 1400.
I don't know about the size of the city but it would have only taken you about an hour to walk from 1 side to another, maximum.

Re: OT - Size of medieval capitals
It's amazing how much the world's population has grown over the Last few centuries! Those medieval capitals don't sound very big at all...

That sounds to small. Anyway, gotta go.

I can walk across the significant (and some of the non-significant) parts of San Francisco in about an hour.

why not, you're not publishing the thing for money, people shared their designs with the intention of them being used.
and i dont think many, if any, western european cities had sewers. at least not enclosed ones.

Actually, many of the cities in the Roman Empire had fairly modern sewer systems, so it wouldn't be that suprising if those were still being used after the empire fell.
