The piece traces the controversial competition for Australia’s capital, noting American winner Walter Burley Griffin and criticism of British, American, and local failures. It contrasts American urban planning with German and American methods, and critiques Australia’s government for later adopting a purchased plan and a state board report that dismisses all designs in favor of a self-made lay-out.
