Cities do not change all at once. They evolve slowly, through patterns that appear long before anyone gives them a name.
In this reflective account of a life spent observing cities, urban planner Blair Scorgie traces the path from a childhood in London, Ontario to a career working at the center of Toronto’s housing and planning debates. What begins with a solitary train ride to the city as a teenager unfolds into two decades of watching neighbourhoods transform and ideas about urban growth gradually move from observation into policy.
Part memoir, part reflection on the craft of planning, this book explores how cities actually change — quietly, incrementally, and often in ways that are only visible to those paying close attention.
