If you're interested in the urban development/design side, "The New Urban Agenda" is a fantastic read which highlights a lot of different issues and provides various solutions to said issues. It's a pretty quick read, a little dry, but not like a textbook.

"Straphanger" also has a large chapter on Toronto, though not TO specific.
