Occasional Papers in the Historic Built Environment – New Town Heritage

This collection of occasional papers began life as an annual series of seminars in the Historic Built Environment. While the initial collaboration between the Historic Towns and Villages Forum,1 the Herbert Lane Trust2 and Kellogg College in 2014 focused on urban development in historic towns, it took as its main theme the topic of New Town Heritage as explored at the HTF annual conference in 2013 – (New Towns, Garden Cities and Utopian Masterplanning – Cities of the Past, Cities of the Future) – and has grown through a series of set-topic seminars and annual events that include collaboration with several universities, agencies, practitioners, civic societies and interested individuals, even as the topic of New Town Heritage itself has taken on more significance during a time in which issues to do with urban planning, growth, the green belt and historic core areas, have deepened.
