From the Native American tribes who first inhabited the land to the
gold rush prospectors who flocked to the burgeoning town in the
1860s, Pocatello's legacy is defined by fascinating historical
figures and colorful characters. But many restless souls from the
city's past refuse to fade quietly into history. Join author John
Brian as he records the voices and visions that haunt Pocatello
today. Whether it's the long-dead theater devotee who still attends
shows at Frazier Hall, the specter of a woman who evaded a judge at
the Bannock County Courthouse or the many spirits that haunt a farm
built on sacred Shoshoni tribal land, this collection proves that
the Gate City is flooded with ghosts.
Land use planning policy receives much public attention: we are
constantly reading about the funding for infrastructure, the
revitalisation of commercial centres, the rapid rate of urban
decay, gentrification of the inner cities, and the problem of the
expanding urban fringe. This study examines the effects of town
planning on the shape and structure of the Melbourne metropolitan
area since the Second World War. It shows that Melbourne's planners
have seldom achieved what they set out to do and describes the
technocratic character of town planning in Victoria. Shaping
Melbourne's Future? relates town planning and urban developments to
the social and economic base which defines them, touching on the
broader themes of history, sociology, geography and politics.
