Water supply and waste disposal systems were slow to arrive, so cholera and typhus were of great concern. Suburban growth, on or beyond the hills, was needed. Trams soon conveyed people between work and home, and within two decades most surrounding boroughs had become part of the city and were covered in new houses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRing Around the City takes Kilbirnie and Kelburn as case studies to describe Wellington's growth and relates them to other suburbs, contrasting the city council's tramway system and the privately-run Kelburn cable car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContaining archival records, historic maps, architectural details, and rare monochrome and color photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eNear new with only light wear on covers, faint marks on fly page due storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003eScarce new\u003cbr\u003eSee our other listings on the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68138391732516,"sku":"A4\/2611\/UXXX","price":59.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/3929531568364123737.jpg?v=1794165248","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/ring-around-the-city-wellingtons-new-suburbs-1900-1930-by-adrian-humphris-and-geoff-mew","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
