Abstract
This thesis seeks to contribute to the existing historiography of the Australian national
capital city, Canberra. It explores the assumptions and aspirations that influenced the
city's planning and construction during its two greatest periods of growth--the first
period spanning from the tum of the century to the beginning of the great depression, the
second from the 1955 Senate Select Committee Report on Canberra to the early 1970s.
The emphasis is not on providing a narrative history of Canberra. It analyses how the
city's design reflects attempts to create the ideal city.
