This Must be Progress/Parliament Street 1971
I've posted this photo previously but here is the article that went with it from the Toronto Star 1971. Click on the image to see a larger version.St. James Town is the largest high-rise community in Canada. It consists of 19 high-rise buildings (14 to 32 stories). These massive residential towers were built in the 1960s. Approximately 17,000 people live in the neighbourhood's 19 apartment towers, making it Canada's most densely populated community, and one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods anywhere in North America.
St. James Town is one of Toronto's poorest neighbourhoods.
