Glass skyscrapers rise beside Victorian homes  and Brutalist apartment buildings often mark the edge of leafy ravines  creating a city of contrasts whose architectural look can only be defined by telling the story of how it came together and how it works  today  as an imperfect machine.  Shawn Micallef has been examining Torontos streetscapes for a decade. His psychogeographic reportages  some of which have been featured in EYE WEEKLY and Spacing magazine  situate Torontos buildings and streets in living  breathing detail  and tell us about the people who use them; the ways  intended or otherwise  that they are being used; and how they are evolving.  Stroll celebrates Torontos details  some subtle  others grand  at the speed of walking and  in so doing  helps us to better get to know its many neighbourhoods  taking us from well-known spots like the CN Tower and Pearson Airport to the overlooked corners of Scarborough and all the way to the end of the Leslie Street Spit in Lake Ontario.  Stroll features thirty-two walks  a flneur manifesto  a foreword by architecture critic John Bentley Mays  dozens of hand-drawn maps by Marlena Zuber and a full-colour fold-out orientation map of Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45788451209269,"sku":"ByrdShop_1552452263","price":63.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781552452264.jpg?v=1784645730","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/stroll-psychogeographic-walking-tours-of-toronto-9781552452264","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
