Overview

Building Toronto's Skyline traces the evolution of the city's iconic residential towers from their humble beginnings in the late 19th century to the modern, high-rise buildings of today. The book begins with a look at the early low-rise apartments that were built to provide affordable housing for working-class families in the city's rapidly growing urban areas. It then explores the rise of modern high-rise condos, which began in the mid-20th century as developers experimented with new materials and construction techniques. Through detailed research and engaging storytelling, Building Toronto's Skyline brings to life the people and events that shaped the city's skyline. Along the way, it delves into the social, cultural, and economic forces that have influenced the development of condos in Toronto and looks at how these buildings have come to define the city's identity. Filled with fascinating stories and richly illustrated with photographs, Building Toronto's Skyline is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Toronto and the evolution of the modern city.
