In iThe Shape of the Suburbsi, activist, urban affairs columnist, and former Toronto mayor John Sewell examines the relationship between the development of suburbs, water and sewage systems, highways, and the decision-making of Toronto-area governments to show how the suburbs spread, and how they have in turn shaped the city.p_x000D_\n_x000D_\nUsing his wealth of knowledge of the city of Toronto and new information gathered from municipal archives, Sewell describes the major movements and forces that allowed for rapid development of the suburbs, while considering the options that were available to planners at the time. Discussing proposals to curb suburban sprawl from the 1960s to the recently adopted plan for the Greater Toronto area, Sewell combines insightful and accessible commentary with rigorous research on the debate between urban and suburban. Concerned not only with sprawl, iThe Shape of the Suburbsi also demonstrates the ways in which suburban political, economic, and cultural influences have impacted the older, central city, culminating in the forced Megacity amalgamation of 1998.p_x000D_\n_x000D_\nRich in detail and full of useful visual illustrations, iThe Shape of the Suburbsi is a lively look at the construction of the suburban era.p\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55438826897576,"sku":"1715071","price":1650.0,"currency_code":"UYU","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/8960\/0680\/files\/POCI-9780802095879_POCI-_9780802095879.jpg?v=1776411476","url":"https:\/\/www.libreriapocho.com.uy\/products\/shape-of-the-suburbs-sewell-john","provider":"Librería Pocho","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
