Colonial Townコロニアル都市

アジアに西洋諸国が築いた植民地、そしてそれを統治するために建設した都市は、北米や豪州のそれと大きく異なる。

アジアにはすでに圧倒的の住民がおり、都市が築かれており、西洋人はそこに後から入り込んできた人たちであった。コロニーがもつ「入植」とはかけ離れた状態だった。

長崎の小菅修船場が有名ですが、これは小型船用であれば安価に建造できることから、19世紀後半、世界中各地に建造されました。私が確認しているだけでも、中国のアモイ、福州、ビルマのラングーンなどにありました。写真はBritish Library所蔵のものです。

Photograph by Linnaeus Tripe, from a portfolio of 120 prints, showing a slipway for boats at Rangoon (Yangon) in Burma (Myanmar). In 1855 a British mission was sent to King Mindon Min of Burma to negotiate a settlement regarding Pegu, annexed by the British following the Second Anglo-Burmese War in 1852. Linnaeus Tripe was the official photographer on this mission, his pioneering architectural and topographical views of the country are an important photographic record. Rangoon was built on the site of the ancient Mon city of Dagon. Its name refers to 'the end of strife', given it by the founder of the Burman Konbaung dynasty, Alaungpaya (ruled 1752-60), after his defeat of the Mon kingdom of Pegu. A major port of Burma, located on the Yangon river near the Gulf of Martaban, Rangoon was made the capital after the British took over the whole of the country in 1885.
