Toronto – Transformations in a City and Its Region: Metropolitan Portraits
Autor Edward Relphen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 oct 2013
"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."
