Architecture and Technology

A place changes over time as a result of human influence and changing styles of architecture will cause changes to the urban landscape. Developments in technology will also change the way a city or rural areas are used. It may also be interesting to explore global factors that have influenced the landscape over time (i.e. religious buildings, airports, shops, transport, imported goods).

The BBC website has an audio clip of how leicester has changed since the 1960s. It is an article primarily concerned with physical appearances.
