The Urban History Association

The Urban History Association (UHA) is an organization dedicated to promoting the study and understanding of urban history—how cities and towns develop over time and how they influence social, economic, and cultural life. Founded in the United States, the UHA brings together historians, researchers, and educators to share knowledge, resources, and research findings. It organizes conferences, publishes academic journals, and supports educational initiatives to deepen appreciation for urban environments and their complexities. By exploring urban history, the UHA helps us better understand contemporary urban issues and the impact of historical events on today’s cities.
