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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be of interest to scholars and students of urban history and Australian history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 174 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032484945\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AnnaTemby","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44531952681210,"sku":"9781032484945","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1693563676104_book.jpg?v=1693663448","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/governance-and-public-space-in-the-australian-city-negotiating-public-order-in-brisbane-18751914-9781032484945","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
