Britain was the first country in the world to become an essentially
urban county. And England is still one of the most urbanized
countries in the world. The town and the city is the world that
most of us inhabit and know best. But what do we actually know
about our urban world - and how it was created? The Making of the
English Urban Landscape tells the story of our towns and cities and
how they came into being over the last two millennia, from Roman
and Anglo-Saxon times, through the Norman Conquest and the later
Middle Ages to the 'great rebuilding' in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, the 'polite townscapes' of the eighteenth,
and the commercial and industrial towns and cities of the
nineteenth and early twentieth century. The final chapter then
takes the story from the end of the Second World War to the
present, from the New Towns of the immediate post-war era to the
trendy converted warehouses of Shoreditch. This is a book that will
make the world you live in come alive. If you are a town or a
city-dweller, you are unlikely ever to look at the everyday world
around you in quite the same way again.
