Toronto: Transformations in a City and Its Region traces the city's development from a British colonial outpost established in 1793 to the multicultural, polycentric metropolitan region of today. Though the original grid survey and much of the streetcar city created a century ago have endured, they have been supplemented by remarkable changes over the past fifty years in the context of economic and social globalization. Geographer Edward Relph's broad-stroke portrait of the urban region draws on the ideas of two renowned Torontonians-Jane Jacobs and Marshall McLuhan-to provide an interpretation of how its current forms and landscapes came to be as they are, the values they embody, and how they may change once again.
Reviews / Votes
"U.S. urbanists are busy looking to Shanghai for the model of the coming metropolis. Edward Relph's study suggests that they should avoid the long plane trip and check out Toronto." (Carl Abbott, Portland State University) "A brilliant and much-needed book about Toronto! Published at a critical time in the history of the Canadian metropolis, Ted Relph's volume explains Toronto both to itself and to the world." (Roger Keil, York University)More details
