Really interesting article which could be a nice little idea for Toronto when our boom is finally coming to and end.

Great article, and mostly positive comments from the authors. Thanks for posting. I love the concept of before and after.

It's interesting to see how many Beaux Arts highrises were demolished to make way for newer buildings in this round of construction. Granted, most of the older buildings were kind of banal - especially for New York City - but in Toronto they would probably be facadectomied.
