      On the right track: Renowed architect Ralph Erskine of Sweden says Toronto's downtown and waterfront areas will undergo an exciting transformation by the year 2001. Where railways now divide city dwellers from the lake. Erskine sees gardens, housing, shops and theatres springing up over the next 20 years - adding new life to the city. But he wants that Metro's highrise suburbs could become ghettos.
