Unbuilt Toronto 2 – More of the City That Might Have Been
Mark Osb
aldeston's sequel, Unbuilt Toronto 2, provides an all-new, fascinating return to the "Toronto that might have been. What would Toronto look like today if…?" Enter through the Library's new Cube to find out what Moriyama's original plans were for the new Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library. Has a dream been fulfilled?
Discover some of Toronto's most fascinating planning, transit and architectural "what-ifs," as Mark presents an illustrated talk based on his new book.
Learn about Eaton's grand plans from 1912, a magnetically levitated light rail transit system that the provincial government actually started to build in the 1970s, and how Toronto would look today if it had hosted the Olympics in 1996.
His first book, Unbuilt Toronto: A History of the City That Might Have Been, was the basis for an exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum, was a finalist for the Toronto Book Awards, and received a Heritage Toronto Award of Merit.
