From the Paper:

"A history of urban development in Toronto's Spadina District is challenged by both the size of the district and the changes in the range of dominant uses in the physical space. As this essay will demonstrate, over the past century and a half the district has experienced a general shift in land use from predominantly residential, to commercial, and more recently back to predominantly residential save for retail stores along the major arteries of Spadina, Queen and King. This shift has reflected both changes in the transportation networks in the district, as well as changes in the demographics of the area's population."
