Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 220 pp, 8 3/4" H. B&w photographs. A mid-20th century look at Montreal where a "building boom of unprecedented proportions is transforming the downtown core and threatening some of the city's finest old buildings and most colourful districts. The boom and a failure to plan seriously or to enforce those plans already charted are rapidly making life in the city more expensive, unhealthy, chaotic and unsatisfying. (This book) deals with all aspects of the situation in realistic terms: the influx of development money, the growth of preservationist groups, the expansion of the sheltered-city concept, the disappearance of long-established communities and the role of government. The municipal, provincial and federal authorities all come in for sharp criticism for their failure to control the development boom and their indifference to the accelerating trend towards destruction of the best of 19th and early 20th century Montreal. The authors conclude with a detailed blueprint for urgent action to prevent Montreal (and other Canadian cities) from becoming faceless North American metropoli before the end of the century." Interior - light toning to the ednpapers, clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - very light browning to the edges of the text block and on the front cover, a slight lean to the spine, three faint creases on the spine, minor edge wear. Not Signed.
