This course explores urban history across time and around the globe, starting with ancient cities and extending into the recent past. The course examines how urban settlements have developed historically (ancient, medieval, industrial, colonial and post-colonial cities), and how cities and towns have shaped (and been shaped by) societies, cultures and minorities (e.g. conflict, borders, destruction, ethnic enclaves). It will also consider a variety of broad themes (e.g. environmental disaster, pollution and disease, food and transport, leisure and celebration). In this final-year History course, students will apply advanced research and critical thinking skills to explore a wide range of historical periods and settings through the specialised lens of urban history.
