Urban Renewal Saint John: A City Transformed

A local writer has self-published a book of photos and news clippings that explore the urban renewal project that reshaped the city from the 1950s to 1980s. The book, Urban Renewal Saint John: A City Transformed, is available for order at http://www.ursj.ca/.

I've flipped through the book and have been impressed by how much our city changed in those years.

This book is timely, considering that the city is currently tearing down some old buildings in favour of a the urban redevelopment scheme that is Peel Plaza.
