Interwar neighborhoods and suburbs
What sections of your city (and suburbs) were built up during this time - say 1920-1940.
This is an interesting period for urban development in that you have dense urban neighborhoods, streetcar suburb type development, garden suburbs, automobile suburbs etc. A period of transition.
In Toronto, the core below St. Clair Ave. was built up by 1920. The interwar period saw the development of North Toronto, the old borough of York, Old East York as well as the Kingsway and lakeshore sections of Etobicoke.
Many of TO's richest areas date from the interwar period though of course more working class areas were built at that time too.
