This course covers key debates in the discipline of urban history, with a focus on European experiences. After an introduction into processes of ‘urbanization’ in a long-term perspective, and a survey of the main historiography, the course addresses central debates in urban history around key themes such as the historical relationship between cities and economic growth, state formation, migration, social inequality and and the spatial development of cities. These themes are addressed in a comparative long-term perspective that draws in case studies from ancient history to the recent past. The meetings consist of lectures and discussion seminars that involve active reflection and participation from students on the basis of preparatory reading and reflection. The course teaches students to analyse historical literature and debates on urban history.
