In Mean City, John Martins-Manteiga writes, We built big and with vision and tenacity. The Toronto Style was modern, with a naked freshness that emphasized simplicity using indigenous materials. This book celebrates that style, showcasing the fantastic concrete-and-glass futurism of a city on the rise. The famous Sun Life Building, Canada's first subway system, the Better Living Centre -- these and many more creations from the city's design boom of 1945 to 1975 are profiled and illustrated, along with the pioneering individuals and design firms responsible.
