Beskrivelse
Toronto, Ontario is the subject of Book 26 in the Cruising Ontario series of books of photographs of towns and cities in Ontario, saving our history one photo at a time. The photos show the architecture and design of old buildings contrasted with the new skyscrapers. Toronto is the largest city in Canada and is the provincial capital of Ontario. In 1954, the City of Toronto and twelve surrounding municipalities joined together into a regional government known as Metropolitan Toronto. The postwar boom resulted in rapid suburban development, and the metropolitan government began to manage services that crossed municipal boundaries, including highways, police services, water and public transit. Toronto covers an area of 630 square kilometres stretching 21 kilometres (13 miles) from north to south distance and 43 kilometres (27 miles) east. The Lake Ontario waterfront shoreline is 46 kilometre (29 miles) long.
