"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"--Dust jacket.
