Most of the essays were originally presented at the interdisciplinary conference Architecture | Music | Acoustics that took place in Toronto, Canada, in June 2006 at Ryerson University.

The planners of today’s global cities encounter many of the same personalities — architects, builders and developers — but they rarely have the opportunity to meet each other. In May 2007, the Cities Conference on Urban Design gathered for the first time the chief city planners of Boston, London, New York, Singapore, Toronto and Vancouver. Over the course of two days, at a variety of venues in Manhattan, they examined common challenges, shared urban design strategies and argued over what defines a successful city.

Résumé:
The Edible City considers how one city eats. It includes dishes on peaches and poverty, on processing plants and public gardens, on rats and bees and bad restaurant service, on schnitzel and school lunches. There are incisive studies of food-safety policy, of feeding the poor, and of waste, and a happy tale about a hardy fig tree. Together they form a picture of how(...)

Résumé:
The Edible City considers how one city eats. It includes dishes on peaches and poverty, on processing plants and public gardens, on rats and bees and bad restaurant service, on schnitzel and school lunches. There are incisive studies of food-safety policy, of feeding the poor, and of waste, and a happy tale about a hardy fig tree. Together they form a picture of how Toronto - and, by extension, every city - sustains itself, from growing basil on balconies to four-star restaurants.

Most people might simply view the book as a dry cataloging of a banal subject; Shapton, however, saw beauty in the technical details and was inspired to create her own interpretation of The Native Trees of Canada.

Résumé:
Over 80,000 people have been jailed indefinitely, without charge or trial—this is the invisible reality of immigration detention in Canada. Undocumented: The Architecture of Migrant Detention documents the banality and violence of the architecture in contrast to the stories of daily resistance among immigration detainees. This graphic novel explores the growing industry of immigration detention in Canada, and questions the role of architectural design in such spaces. Undocumented is written by Tings Chak, a multidisciplinary artist and architect based in Toronto.

Résumé:
Yonge street very much the spine of Toronto. The city has grown up along and from it, with successive arterial roads radiating outwards like ribs. It’s a line that both divides the city, and its streets, into east and west – marking the beginning of address numbering in each direction – and that ties the city together. As it moves from the lakefront to the city’s northern(...)

Yonge street very much the spine of Toronto. The city has grown up along and from it, with successive arterial roads radiating outwards like ribs. It’s a line that both divides the city, and its streets, into east and west – marking the beginning of address numbering in each direction – and that ties the city together. As it moves from the lakefront to the city’s northern border, Yonge evolves constantly, at each point reflecting the nature of its new environment, and so showcasing many of the different phases of our vast metropolis.

Résumé:
Disassembling the Archive is a quasi-fictional correspondence by Philip Monk with the artist Fiona Tan. It departs from interpretations of post-colonial identity issues in her work to trace the implications of the archival housing of photographs and moving images. By way of a detour through Siegfried Kracauer's writing on photography and Jacques Derrida's writing on the Freudian impression, we witness - right before our eyes - the disintegrative and destructive effect of photography on the archive. Philip Monk is Director of the Art Gallery of York University, Toronto.
