rfAf \ N /" / jlgn j movecj to Toronto more than 75 years ago, I thought that it was a dull city.

The past three-quarters of a century has seen Toronto grow into one of the most exciting places in the world." So declares entrepreneur Edwin Mirvish in his introduction-co-authored with son and fellow businessman Dávid Mirvish-to Toronto: The World within a City. In their joint testimonial, the Mirvishes write of a vitai place-one that Dávid Mirvish calls "an eminently livable city," and that Edwin Mirvish describes as "a city of parks and greenery a place where big business and commerce thrive, and ... a place where you can live in quiet residential areas." Applauding Toronto's growing multiculturalism and the diversity it continues to create, the authors alsó celebrate the city's simultaneous embracing of its past and its eagerness to greet the future. Aided by hundreds of beautiful images culled from the work of the area's finest photographers, Edwin and Dávid Mirvish set the stage for Toronto's natural beauty and man-made magnificence, including what Dávid Mirvish terms the city's outstanding modern architecture. The world within the city that is Toronto is a unique and exciting one, home to art, education, environmental conservation, and unfettered opportunity. As the Mirvishes conclude: "If you ride to the top of the CN Tower... and look out over the city of Toronto, you'll see that this is still a green city. It's a place where people can find excitement, to be sure. But it's alsó a place where the environment is treasured, making it an obvious choice when looking for a place to call home." Vissza
