In less than 200 years Toronto has grown from a small town into a major metropolis. This course looks at elements in that development, such as: immigration and its effects, 19th-century social classes and ethnic rivalries, the growth and movement of industry, pollution problems, the struggle over municipal services, urban calamities, the absorption of other communities, problems of the poor, the growth of suburbs, and the emergence of a multicultural city.
