Cities in Historical ContextÂ
The module allowed us to understand the complex character and dimensions of urban development and change. It focused on examining the concept of city and how cities change in shape over time. Durning the module we examined changes in land use and built environment in British Cities, covering the major phases of urban growth and change from pre-industrial to post-industrial eras. We also used urban morphology, the study of urban form, as a basis to explore historical transformations in the built environment.
