Anthony Sutcliffe (1942-2011)

摘要

Tony Sutcliffe died in December 2011 after a long illness. He was a careful scholar, an original thinker and a clear communicator. He is well known to urban morphologists for a series of publications examining urban form and aspects of its creation and modification, and until his health deteriorated he attended a number of urban morphology events including seminars of the Urban Morphology Research Group at the University of Birmingham. However, he would probably have said that he was a historian - of cities and of planning. He was Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Leicester, and had previously been Special Professor at the University of Sheffield. However he had an early academic role in Birmingham where he researched and co-wrote a volume of the city's official history.
