 Toronto Book Awards 2009 Get a New Read on Toronto
Unbuilt Toronto explores never-realized building projects in and around Toronto, from the city's founding to the twenty-first century. Delving into unfulfilled and largely forgotten visions for grand public buildings, skyscrapers, highways, and subways, it outlines projects like St. Alban's Cathedral and the Queen subway line. Readers may lament the loss of some projects, be thankful for the disappearance of others, and marvel at the downtown that could have been. Featuring 147 images, Unbuilt Toronto casts a different light on a city you thought you knew. Mark Osbaldeston has written about Toronto history and architecture for the National Post, Eye Weekly, and Spacing. A lawyer, he has practiced in both the private and public sectors. He lives in Toronto.
