Description
Anna Gallagher-Ross accepts the Book Award on behalf of author Daniel Ross for "The Heart of Toronto: Corporate Power, Civic Activism, and the Remaking of Downtown Yonge Street", a vivid examination of downtown Yonge Street between the 1950s and 1970s—a time when city leaders, urban activists, and developers came together to keep the area a relevant destination amid suburban growth and other effects of postwar urbanization.
