A lecture by Professor Martin Daunton, Visiting Professor of Economic History.
In the late nineteenth century, Joseph Chamberlain transformed Birmingham with municipal enterprise and urban improvement. However, in the last few years, it has faced the equivalent of bankruptcy, alongside other large British cities.
This lecture asks, why have cities lost the confident civic pride of the Victorian era and now struggle to provide basic services from a limited financial base? Most importantly: what can be done to regenerate them?
Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. There are currently over 2,500 lectures free to access. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest minds.
