Abstract:

The aim of this article is to take stock of nineteenth-century transnational urban history. After a short introduction to transnational history, general urban histories are analysed with respect to the ways in which transnational perspectives are incorporated into the narratives. Specific contributions to urban history in a transnational perspective are analysed. Approaches to urban planning history that focus on transnational linkages and international organization are discussed. Approaches to urban history within enlarged geographical scales that go beyond the nation-state framework, with a particular focus on cities as nodes in translocal networks, are analysed. The article concludes with a critical discussion of nineteenth-century transnational urban history.

31 The same is true with respect to Clark, European Cities and Towns. Transurban interconnectivities are highlighted with respect to the spread of urban planning models (241, 326ff, 335), immigration (363) and the rise of the urban bourgeoisie (290).

39 A similar point resting on the centrality of travellers and migrants is made by Thomas Adam with respect to what he terms elite philanthropy, a civil society-based form of transfer performed by intermediaries from the upper echelons of leisured, affluent citizens of Leipzig, Boston, New York and Toronto.

Elizabeth Harvey's analysis of philanthropic networks in Birmingham and Sydney shows how the transfer of philanthropic ideas and practices took place within ‘layered networks’, overlapping spheres of imperial, metropolitan, regional and local connections of inter-urban or transurban exchanges and networks that potentially provide a way of understanding philanthropic work in urban settings more broadly.

44 With respect to central and south-east European planning in the late nineteenth century, the import and adaption of urban planning theories and methods took place mainly through educational networks, but also via international competitions and of course journals and books.
