Oxford University Press - Digital Cities: History and Archaeology

Explore the evolution of urban studies through the lens of modern technology. Digital Cities: Between History and Archaeology examines how the rise of digital archaeology has transformed the study of cultural heritage. As cities act as microcosms of societal change, this work looks at how researchers now manipulate and reinvent historical data to better understand the built environment. This book covers the impact of advanced digital tools on archaeological research. It explores how methods such as laser scanning, augmented reality, and remote sensing allow for the processing and testing of data on a scale that was not possible in the past. By examining architectural remains and built heritage, the text provides a deep look into how digital methods help display and interpret the history of our urban spaces.
