Reshaping Toronto's Waterfront

'Reshaping Toronto's Waterfront offers a comprehensive overview of the city's ever-changing shoreline. Readers will learn about the monumental decisions and socio-economic pressures that have transformed Toronto's waterfront for over two hundred years. They will also be reminded of the territorial battles between all levels of government that have been going on for over a century, and most disturbingly, continue to be played out to this day. If we want to know how Toronto's lakeshore has ended up in its current state, we have to learn from the mistakes and successes that dot its history. Reshaping Toronto's Waterfront is a good place to get your history lesson.' - Matthew Blackett, publisher, Spacing

'The book provides an insightful historical sketch and critical analysis of the variegated socio-natural processes of waterfront development to urban historians, scholars of urban environmental history, urbanists, city planners, scholars of local politics, students as well as activists.'
