About the Book

Finalist for a 2017 Hamilton Literary Award, the Kerry Schooley Award Unbuilt Hamilton presents the Ambitious City at its most ambitious, exploring the origins and fates of unrealized building, planning, and transportation proposals from the early nineteenth century to the early twenty-first. Marvel at the sweeping vista down Hamilton’s own version of the Champs-Élysées as you enjoy a concert in the escarpment amphitheatre. Drive up the Gage Avenue tunnel, or ride down the Ottawa Street incline railway. Take in the sites at the King’s Forest Zoo, see the stars in the planetarium, or catch a game at Commonwealth Stadium before returning to your island home in Bay Shore Village. Featuring more than 150 illustrations, plans, and photographs, Unbuilt Hamilton gives life to the Hamilton that might have been.

About the Author :
A Hamilton native, Mark Osbaldeston has written and spoken extensively on architectural and planning history. His first book, Unbuilt Toronto, was the basis for an exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum and was a finalist for the Toronto Book Awards and the Speaker's Book Award. It also received a Heritage Toronto Award of Merit, as did its sequel, Unbuilt Toronto 2.

Review :
Rich with illustrations, the book tells the story of the journey taken from conception to realization, or in a number of cases, non-realization … The book is written in a reader-friendly style, but is nonetheless meticulously researched. A pleasure to read.
