From Roman London until Anglo Saxon/ Medieval, Tudor, Stuart or Georgian periods with this video you will understand how a big city, as it is London, has born, developed and turned into what today we all know.
An interesting way, with those kinds of videos, of explaining urban developments, which finishes with a question for thinking about the city:
"What will we destroy, protect, and reuse in the future?"
Description of the video.-
The LEA was developed by The Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (UCL), as a partnership project between English Heritage, Dr Kiril Stanilov -The Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (University of Cambridge) and Museum of London Archaeology (with the Mapping London and Locating London's Past projects), and was initiated and directed by Polly Hudson (PhD).
The London Evolution Animation (LEA) shows the historical development of London from Roman times to today, using georeferenced road network data brought together for the first time. The animation also visualizes (as enlarging yellow points) the position and number of statutorily protected buildings and structures built during each period.
