The paper examines the period between 1820 and 1920 to explain why the ports of Twofold Bay-Boydtown and Eden never sustained their challenge to Sydney's economic hegemony. These small ports provide an interesting insight into the economic
marginalisation of localities by the process of colonisation. Twofold Bay is examined within Rimmer's spatial model of port development. Uneven port development is examined as the geographical expression of several colonisation processes.

The second city of the Empire : colonial Dublin, 1911
The city of Dublin is examined in 1911 to trace the theme of segregation in the late colonialperiod. Urban segregation levels between colonizer (Protestant) and colonized (Roman Catholic) were weak. Formal zoning controls were lacking after
the medieval period. The omnipresent Roman Catholic servant class blurred any idea of Protestant territorial exclusivity. Despite its colonial status, the city bore more resemblance to the contemporary North American city than the colonial model.
