Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
After the 1807 Enclosure Act for the Eastern or Barnwell Fields, Cambridge could expand outside the historic core within which it had been enclosed for more than eight hundred years. The expansion was initially slow, but after 1830 the pace quickened, and New Town was the earliest major addition to the town. Using the original enclosure awards and documents relating to their subsequent sale and development by new landowners, the paper traces the factors that have influenced the evolution of New Town's urban morphology from the early nineteenth century to the present time. It shows how its development from the 1820s onwards can be related to both the enclosure allocations and the nature of the people and institutions to which they were granted. The authors argue that in a period in which urban development was unhampered by planning and building regulations, changes in the physical landscape were strongly influenced by the nature and aims of the developers themselves and that these changes gave rise to significant social differences within New Town. | ||||
