Urban History Review

Aims & Scope

The prime goal of the Urban History Review / Revue d'histoire urbaine is to be a vehicle for the exchange of information, theories, and techniques relating to the development of urban communities over time.

The Urban History Review / Revue d'histoire urbaine is concerned with the historical development of urban Canada in a broad sense, with particular emphasis on the following: current research: work being done on Canadian towns and cities; future research: topics that need to be added to the research agenda; methodology: methods needed for studying urban places; sources: availability, reliability and interpretation of research materials.

As well as this, the UHR/RHU has 2 other major aims: to bring together the various disciplinary perspectives that exist in the broad field of urban studies; to publish non-Canadian material when it deals with comparative, methodological or historiographical issues or topics.
