Interested parties may contact the editors. Silvia Micheli, University of Queensland Brisbane, Australia’s New World City: The Making of Public and Institutional Spaces in South Bank from Expo ’88 to the G20 In 1988 Brisbane hosted the Expo as part of its Australian Bicentenary celebrations. Organised at South Bank, it was an international event that proved a turning point in the city’s development. Positioned on the Brisbane River, in front of the CBD and next to the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, the area became an urban experiment, testing how Brisbane would respond to a central area dedicated to recreation and mass consumption. South Bank Parklands has grown in concert with the adjacent institutional precinct of South Brisbane dominated by the Queensland Cultural Centre, to an extent that today the two areas are recognised under the unifying name of South Bank. Its complexity is generated by the alternation of institutional buildings, leisure structures and public spaces aligned along the river with excellent infrastructure connections.

  • Yokohama, July 2018
    The 18th International Planning History Society Conference - Yokohama, July 2018 How Urban Spaces Remember: Memory and Transformation at Two Expo Sites Jennifer Minner*, Martin Abbott** * PhD, Department of City and Regional Planning, Cornell University, [email protected] ** PhD Student, Department of City and Regional Planning, Cornell University, [email protected] International Expos can leave long-lasting imprints on host cities. The production and evolution of legacy public spaces from these events deserve scholarly attention. Case studies were conducted at two former expo sites in the US and Australia, focusing on the role of retention, reuse, heritage, and parks conservation in the evolution of public spaces. In preparation for Hemisfair ’68, in San Antonio, Texas, conservationists saved 22 historic buildings out of hundreds demolished. Although only a small proportion of buildings were preserved, preservationists challenged a modernist urban renewal plan and the design became a precedent for incorporating heritage conservation in modern urban design. Today, the Hemisfair site is subject to new redevelopment plans. Calls to preserve remaining modernist pavilions challenge New Urbanist visions for the site. In a second case study, an industrial district was cleared and a working-class neighbourhood transformed for Expo ’88, in Brisbane, Queensland. The site was later redeveloped into the South Bank Parklands. Over time, South Bank evolved through redevelopment and master planning, public outcry, and instances of conservation in and around the expo site. Common to both cases is the conservation of parks, heritage, and artwork, outcomes of individual and collective actions to shape urban landscapes. Keywords: Expos, Mega-events, World’s fairs, Heritage Conservation, Parkland, San Antonio, Brisbane, Historic Preservation, Collective Memory Introduction International expos, or world’s fairs, have restructured and transformed urban spaces in host cities around the world.

  • The Start of Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-Tha
    BEGINNINGS OF BRISBANE BOTANIC GARDENS MT COOT-THA by Barbara Wintringham and Ray Steward December 2017 1 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Barbara Wintringham - Volunteer Guide 1991 to 2016 Ray Steward - Manager Parks Department at Brisbane City Council 1970 to 1992, and Volunteer Guide from 1992 to the time of writing. BEGINNINGS OF BRISBANE BOTANIC GARDENS MT COOT-THA As these fine gardens approach their 50th year in 2020 have you ever wondered how the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha started? It is quite a story and a small miracle that it ever happened. Walking in those lovely gardens today, it is hard to remember that only 50 years ago, these were bare slopes with a few eucalypt regrowth trees. Brisbane now has a world class botanic garden that is attracting large numbers of visitors and we owe so much to those early planners and hard workers who created this unique place. There are several general accounts of the history of the gardens but none that specifically cover the individuals who brought it to fruition or the bureaucratic environment in which it happened. What follows is a distillation of my own extensive oral and library research into this side of the garden’s history, as well as Ray Steward’s personal recollections. I have chosen six people to profile who stood out as the most significant contributors, each playing a specific founding role in some aspect of the gardens. Obviously, there were many more. I was a volunteer guide at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha for 25 years and retired at Christmas 2016.
