Article Title：Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs in the new religious landscape of England

Abstract：
This article examines the dramatic changes brought to English townscapes by Islam, Hinduism, and Sikhism. These new religions have arrived with the large-scale immigration and subsequent natural growth of the minority ethnic populations of Great Britain since the 1950s. The article traces the growth and distribution of these populations and religions, as well as the development of their places of worship from front-room prayer rooms to cathedral-scale buildings. It explores the way in which the British planning process, dedicated to preserving the traditional, has engaged with the exotic.

Keywords: England; Hindus; Muslims; Sikhs; urban planning
