Historical Urban Demography

Historical urban demography is the study of how populations in cities have changed over time. It examines factors like birth rates, death rates, migration, and social dynamics to understand how and why urban populations grow or decline. In the context of historical urbanism, it helps explain the development of cities, how they influenced economic and cultural evolution, and how urban living conditions have evolved. By analyzing historical data, researchers can uncover trends and patterns that provide insight into the experiences of past urban societies and their impact on contemporary urban life.
