This is the first full-length study of Swansea's urban development
from the late eighteenth to the late nineteenth century. It tells
the little known story of how Swansea gained an unrivalled position
of influence as an urban centre, which led it briefly to claim to
be the 'metropolis of Wales', and how it then lost this status in
the face of rapid urban development elsewhere in Wales. As such it
provides an important new perspective on Welsh urban history in
which the role of Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil and even Bristol are
better known as towns of influence in Welsh urban life. It also
offers an analysis of how Swansea's experience of urbanisation fits
into the wider picture of British urban history.
