URBANISM
Urbanism is dedicated to
Canadian Modern Architecture & Design, and to the Preservation of
Architecture across the Dominion of
Canada.
Urbanism was launched in mid-1998
in a campaign to save Toronto's CNE Grandstand Stadium from
demolition. Urbanism is a resourse for the public to utilise and act
if they so choose. These will include demolition alerts, new
construction, databases on Modern Architecture, General Canadian
Architecture, Architects, Industry, and Canadian Industrial Design.
