Scotland is celebrating the 250th anniversary of Edinburgh New Town in 2017 and several academic and cultural events have been scheduled for the spring. The significance of this cultural heritage of the eighteenth century and the importance of conservation will be reflected over in Edinburgh, as several recent urban transformations remain controversial. In keeping with the celebrations of the city’s anniversary, an interdisciplinary conference will be held at the University of Picardie Jules Verne, in Amiens, on 5-6 October 2017. It is organised by the CORPUS (Conflits, Représentations et Dialogues dans l’Univers Anglo-Saxon) Research Team and the Institut Universitaire de France, with support from the University of Edinburgh.
