Later Life Learning Belleville
Spring 2018 Series!
Great Cities of the World!
Join us on Wednesday, April 4 for the
first lecture in our Spring 2018 series.
The theme for this series of five lectures is "Great Cities of the World." From the 19th century onwards, urbanization has become one of the hallmarks of modern civilization. Tens of millions of people have left the countryside to migrate to towns and and cities. In the process towns have become cities and great cities have become megalopolises. Many have fascinating histories. Most are major centres of political and cultural activity. Many are significant generators of economic progress and technological innovation. Some combine all of these characteristics. This series will start off with an overview of the genesis of cities and then examine the historical evolution of four major cities.
