From the 1910s to the 1950s, Los Angeles was a surprising exemplar of progressive planning for Australian cities. LA’s planned neighborhoods early captured the garden suburb ideal. Regional planning initiatives attracted increasing interest, then transport planning and management of auto traffic. Mechanisms of urban governance and formal alliances between private and public sectors followed. This learning from abroad is set within the paradigm of urban policy transfer, highlighting the selectivity of borrowing within the dominant ideology of town and country planning. From the 1960s, positive connotations would be extinguished by new representations of a sprawling, divided, and polluted metropolis.

向洛杉矶学习

从1910年代到1950年代，洛杉矶是澳大利亚城市渐进式规划的令人惊讶的典范。洛杉矶的规划社区尽早抓住了花园郊区的理想。区域规划计划引起了越来越多的兴趣，然后是交通规划和汽车交通管理。随之而来的是城市治理机制以及私营部门和公共部门之间的正式联盟。国外的学习是在城市政策转移范式中进行的，突出了在城市和乡村规划的主要意识形态中借贷的选择性。从1960年代起，积极的内涵将因蔓延，分裂和污染的大都市的新表现而消失。
