In this study Roland Fletcher argues that the built environment
becomes a constraint on the long-term development of a settlement.
It is costly to move settlements, or to demolish and rebuild from
scratch, so the initial layout and buildings, and the forms of
communication that result, may come to shackle further development
and also to place constraints on social and political change. Using
this theoretical framework, Dr Fletcher reviews worldwide
settlement growth over the past 15,000 years, and concludes with a
major discussion of the great transformations of human settlements
- from mobile to sedentary, sedentary to urban, and urban to
industrial. This book is an ambitious contribution to
archaeological theory, and the questions it raises also have
implications for the future of urban settlement.
