    Summary:

    The Toronto Neighbourhoods bundle presents a collection of titles that provide fascinating insight into the history and development of Canada's largest and most diverse city. Beginning with histories of Canada's longest street and the early days of what was once called York (The Yonge Street Story, 1793–1860; A City in the Making; Opportunity Road), the titles in the bundle go on to examine the development of particular unique neighbourhoods that help give the city its character (Willowdale, Leaside). Finally, Mark Osbaldeston's acclaimed, award-winning Unbuilt Toronto and Unbuilt Toronto 2 go beyond history and into the arena of speculation as the author details ambitious and possibly city-changing plans that never came to fruition. For lovers of Toronto, this collection is a bonanza of insights and facts.                   Includes:A City in the MakingLeasideOpportunity RoadUnbuilt TorontoUnbuilt Toronto 2WillowdaleThe Yonge Street Story, 1793–1860
