Regent Park rose from the rubble of what was once the south part of the
Cabbagetown
neighbourhood. During the 1930's, South Cabbagetown was one of
Toronto
's worst
slum
s and as such was targeted by Toronto city planners for a grand
urban
renewal
scheme
called Regent Park.
Built in 1949 Regent Park holds the distinction of being
Canada
's first
public housing
project
. Regent Park was
expand
ed in the 1950's to include the area south of Gerrard Street, which came to be known as Regent Park South.
It should be noted that Regent Park is a
complete
ly self-contained
slum
within the downtown core. The community has its own
school
s,
churche
s and
community centres
as well as several
offices
and drop-in centres run by the
Government of Ontario
. It is not a very
safe
place to walk through during the
daytime
due to
prostitutes
, heavy drug users, carriers of
weapons
and
corrupt
policing.
