Urban History

Urban history is the study of cities and their development over time. It examines how urban areas grow, change, and influence society, culture, economics, and politics. This field explores the experiences of city residents, the impact of technology and design, and the relationships between urban spaces and their rural surroundings. Urban historians analyze historical documents, maps, and artifacts to understand how cities evolve, respond to challenges, and shape human life. By looking at these patterns, we gain insights into current urban issues, such as population growth, migration, and sustainability.
