Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The authors analyse the new towns founded by Edward I in Wales and find some highly significant variations from the standard plan often credited with having been applied by the hand of authority -- that of a grid of streets associated with a fortress. Rediscovering the original layouts by high precision survey and GIS mapping, they show that some towns, founded at the same time and on similar topography, had quite different layouts, while others, founded at long intervals, had plans that were almost identical. Documentation hints at the explanation that it was the architects, masons and ditch-diggers, not the king and aristocracy, who established and developed these blueprints of urban life. | |||
