Hi, all!
I lived for almost 5 years in Waterloo and used to go to Toronto, many times trhough Mississauga….It is a loosing time to compare cities of different cultures as well as it is difficult to established a “new-order” to North American Urbanism. Now I am teaching Urban Design in Brazil and I think that (medium 130 hab/ha of Firenze) density and mixed use (see Jane Jacobs–Boston North End) is the solution for poor pedestrian life in Toronto and in many others Canadian cities. Not only for recovering quality of life but also to survive of a new housing/financial/economic crisis such as 2008′s Leman Brothers and the like.

I have checked the scale of the Star’s (Sola-Morales’s?) drawings. They are all at the same scale, with about 0.87 mile (1.4 km) on the long side. This includes the Mississauga drawing, although that drawing’s style is subtly different from the others. The drawings in Allan Jacobs’s book were all 1 mile (1.6 km) square.

I believe they were made by Manuel de Solà-Morales, and were featured in this book:
