Later that year local activist Dudley Laws claimed that police bias against Blacks was worse in Toronto than in Los Angeles Late 1990s, Before 1900 In an attempt to curb suburban sprawl in the 1960s and 1970s many suburban neighbourhoods of Toronto encouraged high density populations by mixing housing lots with apartment buildings far from the downtown core The post war years and the rise of the personal automobile saw the rapid rise of the suburbs as occurred across North America the most important suburban development was that of Don Mills in North York Begun in 1952 it was the first planned community in Canada and it initiated many practices that would become standard in Toronto suburbs the Don Mills project put into practice many of the ideas of the Garden city movement based on the ideas developed by Sir Ebenezer Howard creating a multi-use community focused on distinct neighbourhoods The earliest suburbs in North York Scarborough and Etobicoke mostly consisted of small single family homes often bungalows Over time suburban houses have grown in size and moved away from the simplistic post-war designs embracing the neo-eclectic style Toronto suburbs are different in character than those of other North American cities During the 1960s and 1970s city planners tried to curb sprawl by encouraging high population density in the suburbs with many modernist "Tower in the Park" style apartment complexes scattered across the suburbs with several Toronto boroughs working to build their own central business districts and move beyond being bedroom suburbs to being centres of business and industry as well This has had mixed results; this policy has made Toronto overall denser than most other North American cities which has reduced sprawl and made it easier to provide city services such as mass transit At the same time planners avoided creating mixed-use areas forcing suburban residents to work and shop elsewhere Apartments and condominiums, Withrow Park: Beavers Britch Gang Graphic Gang (Rogers refers to at least 4 other unnamed gangs in this area).
