Delzant's theorem for symplectic toric manifolds says that there is a one-to-one correspondence between certain convex polytopes in ... and symplectic toric 2n-manifolds, realized by the image of the moment map. I present proofs of this theorem and the convexity theorem of Atiyah-Guillemin-Sternberg on which it relies. Then, I describe Honda's results on the local structure of near-symplectic 4-manifolds, and inspired by recent work of Gay-Symington, I describe a generalization of Delzant's theorem to near-symplectic toric 4-manifolds. One interesting feature of the generalization is the failure of convexity, which I discuss in detail.
