In a unique way, specialists in political science, economics, architecture, literary studies and other fields share the historical and theoretical background of this problematic. There is really something positive and genuinely utopian in the establishing of such a community of research and the city of Toronto was a perfect site for it with its wide streets, green parks, and skyscrapers.
