Quick History
from Farm
to Golden Mile
● http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/victoria-village.9470/
“Going along Eglinton I'm starting to see signs of redevelopment, new condos big box stores and a very sad looking Golden Mile mall.”
“The replacement is a poorly laid out ghost town made up of
Nofrills and the now closing Zellers.”

Canadian Cities in Transition
4 Types re-place-ment
Regent Park ~ wrecking ball & build new
Parkdale ~ gentrification of “bad” neighbourhood trendy & hip … social is confined but place is a “destination”
Cornell (Markham) ~ follows J.Jacobs death & life of cities… just a bedroom community
Condo Boom ~ no social involved, just housing lifestyle
