Course aim
The module aims to allow students to explore the development of modern London from the perspective of the main social science disciplines. It aims to provide an overview of the history of London from the 1960s and enables students to gain an understanding of the economic, cultural and socio-geographical factors which have made the modern metropolis. In addition, it aims to engage with the contemporary issues of crime, class, ethnicity, transport, housing and cultural life, and what is now truly a world city. London is, in effect, a Cosmopolis.
