Did the city of Toronto really only add 180k residents in a decade? That's not a huge number for a city of 250 square miles.

"Philadelphia in the 1860s and 70s was a booming and progressive metropolis that believed it had the capacity to do anything"

Philly is lucky enough to have the best made full documentary series I have ever seen for a city. It goes era by era starting at 1600. I find the post-civil war railroad period to be one of the most interesting.

If I am reading it correctly, the numbers refer to the old COT pre-amalgamation and does not include, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, York & E. York.

Watched this the other day. Fly over of Tokyo. Obviously older but but... amazing.

Worth every minute. An hour of nothing but a fly over of Tokyo in real time.

I'm starting to think Tokyo is the Earths model Mega City. That metropolitan area is just next level.

It showed a population of over 2.5 million which is the entire current city proper. The old pre-amalgamated city would only be around a million.

It's because the city is pretty much totally built out, and until recently the majority of residential land was zoned for detached and semi-detached housing meaning that the part that could actually grow to any extent is much smaller.
