No authority which has helped to supervise the growth of as restless, vital and some might say uppity a city as Auckland could itself have an uneventful story. This centennial history of the Auckland City Council, while paying due heed to its everyday functions, captures in lively fashion the essence of the Council's contribution in the shaping of modern Auckland. To borrow a trite phrase, Auckland is "expanding towards greatness" and the Council has to lay down desirable guide lines.
