Glass skyscrapers rise beside Victorian homes, and Brutalist apartment buildings mark the edge of leafy ravines, creating a city of contrasts whose architectural look can only be defined by telling the story of how it came together and how it works, today, as an imperfect but magnificent machine. Micallef situates Toronto's buildings and streets in living, breathing detail, and tells us about the people who use them; the ways, intended or otherwise, that they are being used; and how they are evolving. 'Stroll' celebrates Toronto's details - some subtle, others grand - at the speed of walking and, in so doing, helps us to better get to know its many neighbourhoods, taking us from well-known spots like the CN Tower and Pearson Airport to the overlooked corners of Scarborough and all the way to the end of the Leslie Street Spit in Lake Ontario." Features 32 walks. Interior - some edge yellowing on the verso of the fold-out map, three pages with a top corner dog-ear crease, otherwise clean and tight with no other ownership marks. Exterior - some very light yellowing to the edges of the front cover, slight fading to the spine colour, minor corner wear on the covers. Not Signed.
