This is a lively and personalised account of the civic history of Wellington. It comprehensively covers a vast time period (1839-2005), capturing and portraying the people behind the profound legacy of dynamic political and social change in the capital city of New Zealand. It explores the governance and growth of Wellington from its humble beginnings in 1839. The book, mapping changes to patterns of work, culture and daily life, is therefore a social rather than an administrative history of Wellington, describing the impact of councillors (from George Hunter and John Plimmer, to Mark Blumsky and Kerry Prendergast) and council activities on the people who lived here.
