Abstract: This paper is concerned with how the Toronto-based economy adjusted to the problems of rapid economic and population growth and to political changes that were shaped by forces beyond its control. As a result, the City had to change its local government machinery, expand its infrastructure, and face many social problems with a revenue base setup to handle the pre-growth pattern of expenditures. The paper will discuss how two important functions of local government, local transportation and social services, were affected by the changes.
