Résumé:
This book examines the development of Vancouver’s unique approach to zoning, planning, and urban design from its inception in the early 1970's to its maturity in the management of urban change at the beginning of the twenty-first century. By the late 1990's, Vancouver had established a reputation in North America for its planning achievement, especially for its creation of a participative, responsive, and design-led approach to urban regeneration and redevelopment. This system has other important features: an innovative approach to megaproject planning, a system of cost and amenity levies on major schemes, a participative CityPlan process to underpin active neighbourhood planning, and a sophisticated panoply of design guidelines. These systems, processes, and their achievements place Vancouver at the forefront of international planning practice. "The Vancouver Achievement" explains the evolution and evaluates the outcomes of Vancouver’s unique system of discretionary zoning. The introductory chapters set the context for the study: they cover the invention and refinement of this system in the reform movement, its development of policies, guidelines, and control processes, and its translation into official development plans and neighbourhood design in the 1970's. Subsequent chapters focus upon the downtown, waterfront megaprojects, single-family neighbourhoods, the city-wide strategic planning programme (CityPlan), pressures for reform of control processes, and current downtown and inner city developments, especially issues of affordable housing, social exclusion, and multiple deprivation. The concluding chapter summarizes "The Vancouver Achievement," explains the keys to its success, and evaluates its design success against internationally accepted criteria.

Résumé:
Building/Art discusses changing ideas about the nature and function of the city as an essential cultural network, one that each of its inhabitants participates in, whether consciously or unconsciously. The city acts as a backdrop to everyday life and influences the ways in which individuals interact with a greater cultural community. How would life be different for us as individuals if we lived in a different kind of city? What interventions can be made at an architectural level to make our city a more engaging place to live? In this theoretical discussion and visual display of urbanism, vital connections are made between modernism as an international movement and its manifestations in Canadian architecture. With contributions from experts in diverse fields of inquiry, Building/Art offers a discussion of the dynamic relationship between form and culture in word and picture.

Résumé:
Based on 260 vintage images and extensive original research, Inside Toronto: Urban Interiors 1880s to1920s is the first book to investigate the complex, interior life of a single city — the ordinary and extraordinary places where Torontonians lived, worked, shopped, and performed the rituals of daily life. Interior photographs are rare. Not many were taken; and fewer have survived. Fortunately, Toronto's archival resources, supplemented by private and public collections elsewhere, are extensive enough to support an investigation of these interior spaces.Many images are glorious, all are informative. Text illuminates the images and provides historical background.

Résumé:
"College street -Toronto's renaissance strip" charts the history of a community that is a microcosm of the larger forces that created the diverse culture of today's Canada. Through immigration, College Street has evolved as Canada has evolved and each generation has left its distinctive mark. There were the early Irish immigrants who fled famine in the old country and settled in the area that is now known as Little Italy. There was the Jewish community that began to develop the outdoor market we now know as Kensington. Eventually the Italians came to dominate and give Little Italy its name, though in the 70s the Portuguese made their own indelible impression on the street and continue to be a powerful presence. With a preface by Joe Pantalone and essays by the editors and Giuliana Colalillo; Beatriz Hausner; Royson James; Rocco Maragna; Domingos Marques & Manuela Marujo; Richard Menkis & Harold Troper; Gabrielle Scardellato.
