Where You Live

We live at a time when our towns and cities are constantly changing. In this book, Michael Rawcliffe takes a look at issues which include new housing, urban redevelopment, pedestrianized shopping centres and multistorey car parks. He examines how our environment has evolved and developed over the past 150 years from the cholera-ridden slums of Victorian Britain to the mock-Tudor cul-de-sacs of today. This social history series is aimed at 14-16 year olds, perfect for National Curriculum Key Stage 4. The books examine the changing face of Britain from the mid-19th century to the present day and each book is packed with activities, source material, source-based questions and pointers to further research.
