Beginning with the newly discovered, and earliest American, urban site of Supe – Caral on the central coast of Peru around 2600 BC it follows the evolution of urban planning throughout the Andes region up to the conquest of the Spanish in 1532 AD. This period of over 4000 years of urban planning includes the pan-Andean civilizations of Chavín, Wari, Tiwanaku and Tawantinsuyu (Inca), and also large polities such as the Moche, Chimú and Pachacamac, as well as the diverse regional periods.
Specifically investigated is the question whether these features formed an Andean urban planning tradition through continual use across these successive periods of time, societies and civilizations, while covering an extensive and varied geography. Further it places these urban design features within their particular Andean cultural context; that is, a context that includes religious, political, economic and geographical forces that shaped the independent creation of urbanism and its forms and that was an adaptation to environmental, religious and socio-political needs of the Andean people. The urban planning tradition reflects the inter-connection of Andean cultures both geographically and culturally through time and space. The varied responses of the Andean urban planning tradition, whose usefulness was proven both through millenniums of time and extensive geographical space, can be clearly seen in the urban characteristics and features created by Andean solutions to an urbanizing world.
Finally, the dissertation also demonstrates that some of these urban design features mirrored or pre-dated similar ideas that occurred in other parts of the world, particularly ideas brought to South America by Spanish colonialism.

The ending of the last glacial period and the subsequent Holocene warming, rising sea levels and the changing access to old and new resources of food and materials was part of the force that led to the social transformation of agriculture and trade. These were changes that helped in the stages towards sedentary life, urbanism and civilization. In the present and future epochs of global environmental change, the question arises in what other ways have climatic changes in the past led to social transformation and has this any implications for the future?

The final title of thesis is "Imperial Urban Character: a comparative study of Tawantinsuyu (Incan) and Roman imperial urbanization policies, principles and practices during their urban expansive phases."
As a multi-disciplinary research it has now moved from being centered in the Clasics and Ancient History Department to the Architecture and Design Department, with lead supervision under Prof. Nigel Westbrook.

up in constantly transforming cities. The local environment, which once served
as a resource for recreation and platy, no longer supports many of their leisure
needs. With their mobility severely circumscribed by issues of personal safety,
a lack of facilities, and an emphasis on passive activity, young people are
retreating to their homes. Drawing on research emerging from a twenty-five
year study of young people living in an urban neighbourhood in Australia, in
this chapter we explore the relationship between physical attributes of location,
young people’s perceived and actual time use, and their lifestyle choices.

This article looks at factors young people themselves identify as affecting their use of public space in their local neighbourhood.

It highlights, through use of media reports and composite vignettes, the range of violent practices that some young males experience at work. By way of interpretation the different events are placed within a context of literature that explores the links between masculinities and violence. Through Alice Miller's work, the paper explores the idea that pedagogies of abuse are handed on from generation to generation and are learned practices. The paper concludes with consideration of the implications for education.

Since, in previous research, Andean urban planning has been treated as the product of individual sites or cultures, this study explores the repeated use of design elements within Andean urban planning, in order to isolate specific elements for individual functional analysis within the context of a cultural tradition. The primary focus is to demonstrate clearly the urban design connection that forms a coherent Andean urban planning tradition shared between the the urban civilizations of the Andes from the inception of urbanism around the beginning of the third millenium BC until the cultural disruption of the Spanish conquest in the mid-sixteenth century AD.
Through the investigation and understanding of the evolving sophistication of the cultures within the Andes cultural, political and geographical region, it is shown that certain ideas of urban design, from very early times, began to form a coherent planning tradition that was shared by civilizations, cultures and settlements in close and distant contact. Moreover, these ideas for architectural designs and layouts for urban areas were not only shared geographically but also repeated through time.
