Civic Gospels: Networks for Social Change

<<previous next>>

“The City as a Light and a Beacon”

This research guide is designed to give a working introduction to Birmingham's civic growth.

• How did networks of nineteenth century nonconformists create the idea of a new ‘civic gospel’ in Birmingham ?
• Who were the men and women responsible for the development of Birmingham's public institutions?
• What twentieth century activist groups have tried to challenge ideas of belonging and identity to create social change?
• Can we re-use these ideas of networks to redevelop the city today?
