'Suburban Urbanities' 5 years since the edited collection was published @UCLpress. How has our research into suburban high streets evolved? urbanformation.wordpress.com/2020/11/12/sub…

Great article in today’s @guardian on the ‘Anatomy of the street’. Bar the odd few many of these essential services cannot be replaced online. #highstreet #retail 🛍

@ScienceAndMaps @OrdnanceSurvey The first one I'm guessing is early 19th century, c. 1820, based on this map I have of Kingston-upon-Thames @RBKingston (overlaid with contemporary town centres for our @AdaptableSuburb project, in case you were wondering)

@AdamShawBiz @BBCPanorama Interesting piece. Worth reflecting on the fact that the high street has never been just about retail: uclsstc.wordpress.com/2013/04/19/10-…

Retro fun to be had watching the animated ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ on @Channel4 - with added bonus of that ever-so-nostalgic walk down a high street uclsstc.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/10-…

Escape Christmas TV, family or socialising by visiting the INCREDIBLE "Rail Map Online" - a historical interactive map of almost every railway or tramway that's ever existed in the UK & Ireland. Seriously. You'll love this. @Railmaponline railmaponline.com/UKIEMap.php
Adaptable Suburbs retweeted
@bostonoxford @MoleyMole01 @FleurHitchcock @Penn__Chris @HampshireBear @MarkJClapson Yes, I’d say one prerequisite of a place being a suburb of somewhere is an element of spatial continuity. See more on the @AdaptableSuburb blog: uclsstc.wordpress.com/2016/02/12/sub… (though worth noting the exceptions, such as Jeremy Whitehand on fringe belts).

Suburban space has traditionally been understood as a formless remnant of physical city expansion, without a dynamic or logic of its own. Suburban Urbanities challenges this view. #openaccess download: ow.ly/d4xX30jOeUn
