Abstract	Using the latest technologies including GIS and virtual software, this session will explore and demonstrate the variety of ways the medieval urban townscape may be recreated. It will question how such tools can enable us not only to map the physical landscape, but also how we may utilise them to better understand the ways in which communities negotiated, interacted and imagined the urban fabric.
