Paving Our Ways: A History of the World’s Roads and Pavements

ZOOM Join from anywhere in the world

Paving our Ways provides a comprehensive international history of the world’s pavements, running from the earliest human settlements to the present day. It examines the earliest pavements in Egypt and Mesopotamia and then moves to North Africa, Crete, Greece and Italy, before a review of pavements used by the Romans in their magnificent road system. After its empire collapsed, Roman pavements fell into ruin. The slow recovery of pavements in Europe began in France and then in England.
