1) The
history of town-planning :
 The
18th c. was a period of major architectural projects in
classical town design:
- Bath
became a fashionable resort and an 18th c. new area was
developed in classical style by John Wood the Elder and
John Wood the Younger (from the 1730s to the 1770s)
- London squares were developed
with uniform design: following after Covent Garden built
by Inigo Jones in the 17th. c, Berkeley Square, Grosvenor
Square, Bedford Square, were developed by the landed families
whose names they bear (from 1730 to the 1780s)
- In Edinburgh the "New Town" was built
in the valley below the mediaeval "Old Town"
on its rock, to the geometrical design of James Craig
(from 1767 on)· A major resource for the study
of 18th c. town design is the projects of the Department
of Architecture of the University of Bath |

navigating
within the website: in the section on "Departments"

study of the Virtual Reality reconstructions of Covent
Garden, the development of Bath, and Edinburgh, by CASA
(Centre for Advanced Studies in Architecture): VR is suited
to the geometrical design of classical architecture, since
it reproduces it in 3 D (three dimensions) |

2) Social
history
Urban
society may be analysed from the viewpoint of
-
population returns
- migrations
- social segmentation, or male/female...
Work on computer-assisted history has been done
by the TLTP (Teaching and Learning Technology Programme)

2) tracing
a website whose address is unknown :
the
elementary use of a "search engine",
supposing the professor has said that the "TLTP" programme "Core Resources for
Historians" is a resource in this field (the study of towns).
3)
the use of databases in history
tables
