Undergraduate

The subject considers the development of the city in the context of modernity and modernisation. The subject builds on knowledge gained from previous history and theory subjects, and extends it with an understanding of the range of forces and processes that have shaped cities and their urbanisms. Particular cities are examined in relation to specific themes, which may include: industrialisation and urbanisation; colonisation; production; consumption, labour and economic forces; governance; demographic mapping and change; political processes and urban development; theories of urban experience; institutions of public and private life; post- and ex-urbanism; the suburbs; and the city as the site of research and speculation for architecture.
