A fictional forecast describing Toronto as a modern city. Regularly notes fire and safety improvements. The University of Toronto had expanded significantly and absorbed much of the area around it for academic buildings, faculty housing, sports grounds, and student residences (mostly in boarding houses). Immigrants and the poorest Canadians had created a slum, similar to those found in other modern cities. There were also Chinese and Jewish sections of the city. |
