This scholarship acknowledges the huge contribution made by sociologist Ruth Glass to the development of cross-disciplinary urban scholarship in the UK; specifically at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº, with the establishment of the Centre for Urban Studies in 1958. Her formative work, London: Aspects of Change (1964), brought together 10 chapters by sociologists, geographers, planners, historians and health scientists to build a brilliant and critical portrait of a city that was undergoing rapid change. It covered issues including high-density housing, immigration and racial discrimination, metropolitan governance, land values, transport access, and not least gentrification – a term which Glass coined. These continue to play a major role in transdisciplinary debates and discussions about London's ongoing transformations and its future aspirations. They have been core to ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº Urban Lab’s research and teaching agenda since its establishment in 2005.
