Document Summary
Study questions for ken cruikshank"s blighted areas and obnoxious industries . Theres never a real social/environmental environmental inequality: upper class faced less environmental impacts then working class pollution in lake. The bay was located at the western end of lake ontario so it was positioned perfectly within ontarios transportation network. It had access to buffalo, hence the us because the lake lied by the niagara peninsula. To the north was toronto/ access to eastern canada , and to the west, was southern ontario/ detroit. Much of the land around it wasn"t useable/ accessible due to improper land. Leaders transformed the southern shore into a bustling port by cutting a canal through the beach strip. Wealthier residents lived on higher ground toward the desjardins canal/ on a ridge . On the ridge was mercantile/ political leaders on well drained land. Working classes settled on low, flat and poorly drained lands east of the ridge/ near the shoreline of the bay.
