Trade Review
"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 *
