James Sprent's comprehensive survey of Hobart Town was carried out towards the end of an era of rapid population increase. The pattern of occupance and the characteristics of the buildings recorded by Sprent are examined after first tracing the physical growth of the town,to the 1840s.

Central area functions are analysed in detail and characteristics of commerce, manufacturing and port activity are presented.
