Sumario:Through the lens of a Swedish industrial city, Landskrona, 'Urban Lives' looks at economic & demographic change at the micro level of individuals & families to understand the societal transformations that profoundly changed people's lives during the twentieth century. These societal transformations - coinciding with industrialization, post-industrialization, & the emergence & culmination of the welfare state - encompassed groundbreaking advancements in living standards, a relocation of rural populations to urban hubs, & significant alterations in the fabric of everyday working life. Including an original data infrastructure, the book follows individuals & families in Landskrona across generations, & situates them in these broader social, institutional, & environmental contexts.
