Congratulations to AHA ECR Representative Anna Temby on the publication of Governance and Public Space in the Australian City: Negotiating Public Order in Brisbane, 1875—1914 (Routledge). This volume offers a rich and evocative examination of 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 the way public spaces were constructed, contested, and controlled in attempts to create ‘ideal’ city spaces. Congratulations Anna!
