The third volume in The Cambridge Urban History of Britain examines
the process of urbanisation and suburbanisation from the early
Victorian period to the twentieth century. Twenty-eight leading
scholars provide a coherent, systematic, historical investigation
of the rise of cities and towns in England, Scotland and Wales,
examining not only the evolving networks and types of towns, but
their economic, demographic, social, political, cultural and
physical development. The contributors discuss pollution and
disease, the resolution of social conflict, the relationships
between towns and the surrounding countryside, new opportunities
for leisure and consumption, the development of local civic
institutions and identities, and the evolution of municipal and
state responsibilities. This comprehensive volume gives unique
insights into the development of the urban landscape. Its detailed
overview and analyses of the problems and opportunities which arise
shed historical light on many of the issues and challenges that we
face today.
