Toronto

In Shawn Micallef’s new book Frontier City: Toronto on the Verge of Greatness, the urbanist and writer argues that the city has, since its rapid growth began in the 1970s, become a place of neighborhoods that are fragmenting the city’s sense of itself. Walking around the various neighborhoods of Toronto, the traveler is left with an ultra-high sense of entrepreneurship, illustratively designed small businesses and a whole load of creativity.

Toronto is an easy-pace urban city, full of bright character and homey feel.
