Summary
"In the final years of the nineteenth century, Toronto architects started to consider how their city, through progressive architecture and urban planning, could be made "modern." Making Toronto Modern constructs Toronto's architectural past to create a compelling narrative of how new ideas about modernism were debated, received, and embodied in new buildings"--Back cover.
