This commissioned history of the Hobart City Council written by two Hobart-born historians describes the role of the people - aldermen, municipal officers and members of pressure groups - who have played a large part in Hobart's municipal life over 154 years.
The authors explore controversies and battles, achievements and failures as well as periods of progress and regress, boom and bust in Tasmania's state capital.
