Abstract

This chapter examines the role of English town planner, educator, and editor, Jaqueline Tyrwhitt, in the internationalization of planning education in the post-World War Two period. It focuses in particular on the role Tyrwhitt played in the establishment of a school of Regional and City Planning within the Institut of Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesia, which opened in 1959 as the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. The idea of a new planning school in Southeast Asia evolved in the context of the reactivation of transnational exchanges of planning ideas and practices that had been interrupted by World War Two and which were supported by the United Nations. Tyrwhitt’s beliefs in Geddes’ bioregionalism and notions of European moderns contributed significantly in shaping the philosophy of the new planning school and curriculum at ITB which embraced comprehensive physical planning. In sum, the study reveals three important mechanisms for the diffusion and cross-fertilization of planning ideas: educational and research institutions, professional associations and journals, and international development agencies.
