Cities & Technology, a series of three textbooks and three
readers, explores one of the most fundamental changes in the
history of human society: the transition from predominantly rural
to urban ways of living. This series presents a new social history
of technology, using primarily urban settings as a source of
historical evidence anda focus for the interpretation of the
historical relations of technology and society.
Drawing on perspectives and writings from accross a number of
disciplines involved in urban historical studies - including
archaeology, urban history, historical geography and architectural
history - the books in the series explore: how towns and cities
have been shaped by applications of a range of technologies and how
such technological applications have been influenced by their
social contexts, including politics, economics, culture and the
natural environment.
European Cities and Technology is designed to be used on its own or
as a companion volume to the accompanying European Cities and
Technology Reader in the same series. The book is divided into
three principal sections: cities of the Industrial Revolution
including case studies of Manchester, Glasgow, London and Paris;
European cities since 1870, including London, Paris Berlin, the
rise of modern urban planning and post-war reconstruction; and a
variety of topics including Milton Keynes, Colonial India and
Russia. It investigates the relative importance of technology,
economics, politics and social conditions in relation to urban
change.
