Really neat how you can actually make out the boundaries of the old City of Toronto in this image (particularly the full-sized one in the link) by lighting type. The older areas of the city mostly have "acorn-style" metal-halide lights which produce a white, more natural looking light. New areas and some streets in older areas use sodium vapour lamps which produce the characteristic orange glow of most cities.

EDIT: it says that in the link, I just didn't read it beforehand...
