The Structure of Nineteenth Century Cities

by James H Johnson (Editor), Colin Pooley (Editor)

Overview

When this book was first published in 1982, despite considerable research on 19^th Century towns in Britain and America, there had been little attempt to search for links between these empirical studies and to relate them more to more general theories of 19^th Century urban development. The book provides an integrated series of chapters which discuss trends and research problems in the study of 19^th Century cities. It will be of value to researchers in urban geography, social history and historical geography.
