Book Description
Paris is famous for romance. Chicago, the blues. Buenos Aires, the tango. And Toronto? Well, Canada’s largest urban centre is known for being a “city that works” – a remarkably livable metropolis for its size. In this lavishly illustrated book, Richard White reveals how urban planning contributed to Toronto becoming a functional, world-class city. Focusing on the period from 1940 to 1980, he examines how planners shaped the city and its development amid a maelstrom of local and international obstacles and influences. Based on meticulous research of Toronto’s postwar plans and supplemented by dozens of interviews, Planning Toronto provides a comprehensive and lively explanation of how Toronto’s postwar plans – city, metropolitan, and regional – came to be, who devised them, and what impact they had. When it comes to the history of urban planning, the question may not be whether a particular plan was good or bad but whether in the end it made a difference. As White demonstrates, in Toronto’s case planning did matter – just not always as expected.

Book Description
The Harbour Commissioners' plan of 1912 can be seen as a major step in municipal enterprise, but paradoxically near the end point of the strongest era of promoting municipal action ever experienced in Toronto. This document considers why, at the end of the period of rapid growth, the commissioners put manufacturing as the centrepiece of the 1912 plan, and specifically what kinds of industry they expected, or in current parlance, what was their industrial strategy. It also explains why the expectations of the commissioners and the city were not fulfilled.
