WORDS: Urban Planning lecturer Carolyn Whitzman has written about the hundred and twenty-five years of poor planning in her former neighbourhood of Parkdale. Suburb, Slum, Urban Village: Transformations in Toronto’s Parkdale Neighbourhood, 1875–2002 tells a story of development and city planning gone wrong, and underlines the need to recognize an area’s demographics as standard practice in urban development.
