What are the social, economic and geographic factors that led to the creation and growth of Toronto’s suburbs? How did suburban development become such a pressing concern for Toronto-area governments? At the launch of The Shape Of The Suburbs: Understanding Toronto’s Spawl (University Of Toronto Press), activist and former Toronto mayor John Sewell will moderate a panel discussion about these timely issues. The panel will include Mayor Rob Burton of Oakville, Deputy Mayor Jack Heath of Markham, Mayor Steve Parish of Ajax, and Kim Storey, architect and urban designer.

Marc Glassman, Executive Director of This Is Not A Reading Series and Proprietor of Pages Books & Magazines will host the evening.
