Request for Help: GTA urban land use map (time-line)

murman · #1 Posted: **Dec 15, 2006, 11:21 PM**

Hi everyone.

I've searched the net hi and lo, but have not come across what I was hoping to find...

Can anyone point me to a map that illustrates the growth of the GTA's urbanised area over time, say over the last 100 years?

'twould be really appreciated!

Thanx.

I'd like to see something like this too.

I don't know if anyone has actually made a map like this, but you could go to a library with a map collection and look at maps from different periods.

count me in as well. I wonder if there is a the same idea for multiple cities posted somewhere online?

this is a cool one.. this map won an international award. I don't have a legend though (City of Toronto only)

I had what you are asking for as a pdf file, but the Government of Ontario has removed it from the web site. It was under "Places to Grow". They have lots of other information on the topic, but not the one they had before which was just what you are looking for.

No, I don't have the pdf file, I only had the link but it's dead now.
