Document Summary
Many cities focus on the elites of a town therefore you get a lot of political history but also you can find out about a city through its urban process especially through its road system. But also the changing demography of a city is important. 3 general principles: the relationship between spaces- specially means any space mentions should be connected to anything else you know about space. A spatial consciousness: another thing is about special morphology- the way things are arranged. Settlement history: the original settlement was a small settlement between front berkley street, george st, and duck st. It was a small settlement on the lakeshore: by 1794/96 the population was 241 people. Made of the loyalist settlers, who came to find land: toronto of today is flat from the lakeshore until you get to about st. clair avenue. And from st clair it becomes to climb up.
