Original Toronto Star caption: Where the justification for the phrase family units in the new apartment-row housing development of the Ontario Housing Corporation an Davenport Rd; at Bedford? Question is posed by The Star's design columnist; architect Harvey Cowan; who says that this type of project has become commonplace in the worst sense just as we treat atom bombs and loss of our lakefront as simply another standardization of a catastrophe. He says project fails to show any conception of how to solve housing problem.
