When looking at the pre-WWII Toronto, you see a pattern of inner city onceworking class areas of rowhouses and semi-detached housing in the inner west and the inner east (a smaller area than the inner west) that are now gentrified or gentrifying, then on the outskirts you have more desirable detached early 20th century housing/streetcar suburb type areas (High Park, Beaches, parts of St. Clair West and North Toronto) and then very affluent areas to the north (Rosedale, Deer Park, Forest Hill, Lawrence Park), and then another ring of working class suburbs on the edges (esp. the old borough of York).

Pretty much the entire old City of Toronto is already desirable or undergone significant gentrification outside socialized/subsidized housing at this point though.

Though I the stereotypes break down as you move into outer London I guess.

Outer North London seems to be the "Queens" of London with its polyglot population (large ethnic minority, immigrant and Jewish communities), while outer south London is semi-suburban "white English."
Interestingly the reverse is now happening in the 'burbs. Those leafy lanes are now seeing a White, South Asian, Jewish and Caribbean 'flight' as people sell on their banal semi-detached for a solid gold castle in the provinces, while the leafy south London suburbs are now being invaded by the middle class ethnic communities being generated from the former Inner City ring (as it gets converted into royal hunting grounds for the world's elite).

It's a constant, traditional churn as Londoners make their money and leave for more family-friendly climes (which is why the Kent and Essex accents are now extinct and replaced with Cockney, while their former East End stomping grounds have been replaced with MLE and Bengali tinged accents), then a few years later a new generation of their kids move back to find opportunity in the bright lights.
