New Town Heritage Research Network

The purpose of the AHRC funded New Town Heritage Research Network is to share research and policy on the architectural heritage value of the Post War New Towns in the UK and Mainland Europe.

The Network brings together international researchers and policy makers from universities, government, and the community sector who are studying this built heritage, and are engaged in policy debates about its value.

The project

The project organised a programme of UK-based New Town Heritage Research Seminars, one European New Towns Seminar in the Netherlands, and a Plenary Conference at the conclusion of the project in 2018. The seminars all included here are aimed at New Town researchers and policy makers, not just from universities but also from government and from the community sector in New Towns which has often accumulated a significant amount of original research and data.
