Urban Spaces and Cultural Settings
The complexity of cities calls for a multidisciplinary approach, urging urban historians to draw from social, economic, political, intellectual, as well as architectural sources. In exploring different materials, urban historians must carefully consider the motives of the various people who shape urban form and record urban change. They must approach urban history not as a canon of precedents or a chronicle of progress, but as a complex and ongoing enterprise.
Equally important is the meaning of a city and how that meaning changes over time. Urban history is not just a synthesis of priorities and disciplinary techniques, but also a synthesis of experiences and visions. Integration of social and formal analyses is crucial, for both are formative and each helps shape the other. The intricate webs of power and meaning that are elaborated through architectural space need exploration as well. To write urban history is to give narrative form to these processes.
