Frisken (York U., Toronto) observes the response of the Ontario government to rapid population growth in Toronto over an 80-year period, and assesses both the failures and successes in public policy. The author leans more toward the positive accomplishments, noting how Toronto has avoided the eventual social and economic declines experienced by other North American cities through carefully planned objectives. Written for urban historians, policymakers and city planners, this book also examines the three-tier regional governance under provincial stewardship that was implemented in the '60s and '70s.
