Ken Greenberg: Toronto Reborn

Tuesday, October 8, 6-7 pm at the Toronto Reference Library - Beeton Hall

Why does Toronto look the way it does today? How did the old postwar city transform into the unique, modern metropolis we live in?

Ken Greenberg presents his new book, Toronto Reborn, where he takes a look at how the work and decisions of citizens, NGOs, businesses and governments since 1970 have combined to shape Toronto's neighbourhoods and urban spaces.

In conversation with Cherise Burda, Executive Director of the Ryerson City Building Institute
