A Black Girl's Coming of Age in Jim Crow Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
In the late twentieth century, Geraldine L. Wilson emerged as one of the leading voices in early Black childhood education, grounding her pedagogy in Black history and culture. This article traces the origins of her intellectual thought to her girlhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Using historian Jarvis R. Givens' framework of ‘Black student witness’ it examines what Wilson experienced in the city's integrated yet segregated public school syste…

Developing Leisure and Cultural Attractions in the Regional City Centre
Smaller regional cities and former industrial cities throughout North America and Europe have experienced fundamental transformations of their economies over recent decades, and authorities have continually sought new functions for the postindustrial era. Following on from retail, office, and residential regeneration within many city centres, leisure and cultural policies have also been adopted. The British city of Swansea, which has developed su…

City Centre Regeneration through Residential Development
Following a discussion of recent policies for the city centre in Britain, the paper explores the contribution of residential development to aspects of sustainability, drawing on a range of survey evidence in Bristol and Swansea. The residents are frequent shoppers, helping to sustain the local daytime economy. Sustainability goals are also supported because large proportions of residents walk to city centre attractions, and many also to their pla…
Retail Parks Revisited
Since the late 1970s retail parks have developed in the United Kingdom to become a substantial element of the process of retail decentralisation. From an early focus on 'bulky-goods' retailing, they have grown and evolved into a variety of unplanned and planned forms, the largest of which can be characterised as 'hybrid regional centres'. The more recent addition of typical 'high-street' retailers to their functions has earned the epithet 'fashio…
Disaggregating the Space-Time Layers of City-Centre Activities and Their Users
Adopting a focus on both time and space, the authors aim to unpack the complexity of uses and users in the city centre. Evidence from Swansea reveals a stark twofold temporal division between a frequently visited daytime city and a much less frequently visited evening and nighttime city. Furthermore, lower intensity evening activities such as theatres and cinemas are distinguished from the higher intensity nighttime activities of pubs and clubs, …
The Changing Competitive Relationship between Small Town Centres and Out-of-town Retailing
Change has characterised the retail environment of British cities since the mid 1960s. Many new retail forms have emerged which have often impacted adversely on the traditional retail hierarchy. Evidence suggests that the middle order, comprising small towns, district centres and small market towns, has been particularly affected adversely and the potential for 'a spiral of decline' in many such centres has been suggested widely. Thus, many commu…
City-centre Revitalisation
Over the past 30 years the pre-eminent commercial status of the city centre in the retail system of British cities has been challenged by the competitive impact of retail decentralisation. A contemporaneous decentralisation of office and leisure activities has exacerbated the situation. At the same time, early redevelopment strategies have created significant degrees of spatial fragmentation between functions and the loss of a substantial residen…

The Retail Revolution, the Carless Shopper and Disadvantage
The spatial restructuring of retailing in British cities in recent years has been characterized as a retail revolution. Off-centre superstores, retail warehouses, and planned regional shopping centres have been added to the pattern of traditional shopping facilities, which in turn have often experienced decline. The dichotomy between the old and new shopping facilities is increasingly reflected in a marked inequality in the opportunities of consu…

Industrial Development in Agrarian Communities
The nature and course of industrial activity amidst mixed farming communities in Alpine Europe is distinctive in terms of its origins, chronology, scale and consequences. This paper traces the exploitation of inter-related mineral and forest resources by external entrepreneurs seeking to stimulate production for non-local markets. Changing responses to regional opportunities are identified for the period 1650 to 1900 during which there occurred a…

The process of retail decentralization in Greater Swansea is examined and survey evidence is presented on the functional chara…

Peasant Agriculture in Medieval Gwynedd
In a recent survey of medieval European agriculture Professor Georges Duby suggested that three main phases can be distinguished. Between A.D. 900 and 1180 the dearth of documentary evidence precludes exact analyses but the period generally witnessed ‘demographic expansion and agricultural conquest’ within the dominant framework of the seigneuries, both lay and ecclesiastical. Between A.D. 1180 and 1320 written sources become rather more plentifu…
Enclosure and the Rural Landscape of Merioneth in the Sixteenth Century
STUDIES in the evolution of rural landscapes and analyses of critical formative periods in various localities of the British Isles are increasing in number, but there remain several important spheres in time and space which are relatively neglected. Indeed, gaps in our knowledge of certain regional trends in historical geography have enabled long-standing misconceptions to be perpetuated. One such assumption is that the enclosure movement which g…
