the nineteenth century cities of Wolverhampton and Birmingham and to the
pioneering Letchworth Garden City. The course is organised by Professor

teaching record of the Centre for Urban History. "The Making of Urban
Britain 1700-2000" runs from Sunday 29th June to Saturday 5th July
2003. Registration costs £480 sterling for the full programme, this

The "Rebuilding of
British Cities in Context" Exploring the post-Second World War reconstruction
Monday May 12th, 2003, University of Central England, TIC, Millennium
Point - Birmingham
Sponsored by the Faculty of the Built Environment, UCE and the International
Planning History Society in association with the Centre for Urban History
and the Urban Morphology Research Group Organisers: Peter Larkham and
Joe Nasr, UCE.
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in interest in
the
reconstruction after the Second World War - and in post-catastrophe
rebuilding more generally. Country-specific conferences have been held
over the past two decades overseas, but not in the UK.
This small, informal workshop aims to develop our understanding in this
area of planning history.
