^ Good example of that of course is the Jane-Finch area (including York University). The area was rural in the 1950s. According to the 1961 census, the population of the area (all contained in one CT running between Dufferin and Highway 400 north of Sheppard) was about 1,000. By 1971, it was 50,000. A big university had opened and it was filled with high rises that were attracting new immigrants. It would have been quite a remarkable transformation to witness.
