Abstract

Abstract The literature on city planning and city administration is replete with examples of the international and inter-urban transfer of ideas. The transfer can result from qualitative emulation of one city by another or from the more generalized international circulation of expertise. But insufficient attention is paid to both the possibility of indigenous creation of local solutions to what are seen as local problems, even if triggered by international examples, and to the question of why the same circulating ideas take root in one place but not in another. This paper uses the “greaterization” of the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in 1924 by a reformist Labor Party government as a case study to explore the sources of the ideas. The paper also compares the successful “greaterization” in Brisbane with the unsuccessful efforts in other Australian capital cities.

现成的还是量身定做的?1924年创建大布里斯班的想法来源

关于城市规划和城市管理的文献中充满了国际和城市间思想转移的例子。这种转移可能源于一个城市对另一个城市的质量模仿，也可能源于更广泛的国际专业知识流通。但是，对于那些被视为地方问题的地方问题，即使是由国际例子引发的，土著创造地方解决方案的可能性，以及为什么同样的流通思想在一个地方扎根而在另一个地方却没有扎根的问题，人们没有给予足够的重视。本文以1924年改革派工党政府对澳大利亚昆士兰州布里斯班市进行的“大型化”为例，探讨“大型化”思想的来源。本文还比较了布里斯班成功的“大型化”与澳大利亚其他首府城市的失败。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Regional and Local History aims to publish high-quality academic articles which address the history of regions and localities in the medieval, early-modern and modern eras. Regional and local are defined in broad terms, encouraging their examination in both urban and rural contexts, and as administrative, cultural and geographical entities. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and offer a means of interrogating the temporality of such structures. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help develop agendas for future exploration. The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history and history from below. We welcome contributions situated in these methodological frameworks but are also keen to elicit inter-disciplinary work which seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies. The journal also publishes book reviews and review articles on themes relating to regional or local history.
