Editorial Reviews
"Jason has created an exciting vision for the future of our city that has grown from what he has experienced in our valleys. His vision provides the possibility of 'a new urban experience' firmly based on 'the health of our natural world in balance with opportunities provided by progress and modern convenience.' This is exactly the blueprint we need to follow to make Toronto a truly great city."
