Full Description
In this lavishly illustrated, meticulously researched book, Richard White analyzes the city's planning and how it contributed to Toronto becoming a functional, world-class city. Focusing on the critical period from 1940 to 1980, he examines how planners sought to shape the city and the region amid a maelstrom of local and international influences and obstacles. Planning Toronto offers the first comprehensive explanation of how Toronto's postwar plans - city, metropolitan, and regional - came to be, who devised them, and what impact they had. As this definitive history reveals, planning matters - though perhaps not always as expected.
