- Title
Bureaucratic passions and the colonies of modernity: an urban elite, city frontiers and the rural other in Germany, 1890-1920.

- Abstract
This article analyses the ways the urban boundary and the landscapes beyond it were culturally conceived and physically manipulated in Munich between about 1890 and 1920. It highlights planning practice outside the 'canon' of planning history, showing the importance of localized decision-taking in urban design. The article explores cities as cultural constructs and material artefacts in Germany as part of a broader project linking planning history to broader historical investigation, and tries to bridge the gap between the 'material' city as a physical space, and the 'cultural' city of language and symbols.
