A guide to researching Toronto and urban issues.

Welcome

This research guide (designed for UC One students) will help you find books, articles, films, and more about Toronto and urban issues.

Please browse the tabs for resources on Toronto, urban studies, and "hot topics" related to UC One courses, as well as "Toronto imagined" (novels, plays, films, etc. which take place in Toronto).
