How has Toronto changed in 15 years? In his book, "Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto," Toronto Star urban affairs columnist and co-founder of Spacing magazine brings readers along on 31 walks around the city to highlight how the landscape, landmarks, and neighbourhoods have changed since the original 2010 publication of the book. Host Jeyan Jeganathan joins him on a brief tour of the Toronto Islands; learns about psychogeography - how location affects the emotions and behaviour of people, what can be learned by walking a city, and how Toronto has changed, for better or worse, over the years.
