Paperback. Condition: New. Condoland casts CityPlace - a massive residential development of more than thirty condominium towers just outside Toronto's downtown core - as a microcosm of twenty-first-century urban intensification that has transformed the city skyline beyond all recognition.Built almost entirely by a single private developer, this immense neighbourhood took decades to plan, design, and develop, but the end result lacks a sense of place and is not widely accessible to those who need homes: only a small number of its 13,000 units constitute affordable housing, and public amenities are limited. James T. White and John Punter journey through the forty-year development of Toronto's largest residential megaproject, focusing on its urban design and architectural evolution. They also delve into the background, summarizing the tools used to shape Toronto's built environment, and critically explore the underlying political economy of planning and real estate development in the city.Using detailed field studies, interviews, archival research, and with nearly two hundred illustrations, they reveal an alarmingly flexible approach to planning and design that is acquiescent to the demands of a rapacious development industry. Condoland raises key questions about the sustainability and long-term resilience of city planning.…
