Abstract
This study uses the concept of environmental justice to examine the relationship between the urban horse and the rapid yet layered transformation of late nineteenth-century Antwerp, and sheds light on the interconnectedness of biology and technology in urban modernization. Using environmental permits, it is shown that there was a correlation between the social and spatial dispersion of vexatious horse stables and the presence of working class housing. These environmental inequalities', however, were tempered by the fact that small business owners also owned stables and thus could enjoy the economic benefits of the horse-based economy. By 1890, the modern dissociation between animals and the city became a public concern. Inhabitants of the city center demonstrated a growing sensitivity to the presence of the urban horse.
