Catherine Townsend graduated from the Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Melbourne with first class honours and is a PhD candidate in the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne. Her doctoral research focuses on the global spread of modern architecture, specifically the diaspora of architects who fled Europe leading up to, and in the aftermath of, World War II. Her most recent research in collaboration with professors David Nichols and Robert Freestone is published in Planning Perspectives and examines decentralisation and ‘new town’ proposals in postwar regional Victoria.
