When looking at old pictures of Toronto, it is clear that the
city’s urban, economic, and social geography has changed
dramatically over the generations. Historic photos of Toronto’s
streetcar network offer a unique opportunity to examine how the
city has been transformed from a provincial, industrial city into
one of North America’s largest and most diverse regions.
Streetcars and the Shifting Geographies of Toronto studies the
city’s urban transformations through an analysis of photographs
taken by streetcar enthusiasts, beginning in the 1960s. These
photographers did not intend to record the urban form, function, or
social geographies of Toronto; they were "accidental archivists"
whose main goal was to photograph the streetcars themselves. But
today, their images render visible the ordinary, day-to-day life in
the city in a way that no others did. These historic photographs
show a Toronto before gentrification, globalization, and
deindustrialization. Each image has been re-photographed to provide
fresh insights into a city that is in a constant state of flux.
With gorgeous illustrations, this unique book offers an
understanding of how Toronto has changed, and the reasons behind
these urban shifts. The visual exploration of historic and
contemporary images from different parts of the city helps to
explain how the major forces shaping the city affect its form,
functions, neighbourhoods, and public spaces.
