Governance and Public Space in the Australian City explores the production and use of public spaces in Australian cities in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, using Brisbane as a case study. It demonstrates how public spaces were constructed, contested, and controlled in attempts to create 'ideal city spaces' and challenges common narratives that situate public spaces as universal or equalizing aspects of the urban sphere.

The rich and evocative examination of the production and use of public spaces in Australian cities in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries is presented in the book "Governance and Public Space in the Australian City." It demonstrates how public spaces were constructed, contested, and controlled in attempts to create 'ideal city spaces' through the use of Brisbane as a case study. This construction of space is considered not just in the literal and material sense but also as a product of aspirational and imaginative processes of city-building by municipal authorities and citizens.
This book is as much about people as it is about cities, uncovering the manner in which perceived models of ideal urban citizenship were reflected in the production and ordering of city spaces. It challenges common narratives that situate public spaces as universal or equalizing aspects of the urban sphere. Exploring three distinct types of public space—the streets, slums, and parks—the book questions how urban spaces functioned, alongside how they were intended to function. In so doing, "Governance and Public Space in the Australian City" situates public spaces as products of manipulation and regulation at odds with broader concepts of individual liberty and the 'rights of people to public space.'
This book will be of interest to scholars and students of urban history and Australian history.
