Mega Reurbanization

Toronto has long led North America in high-rise construction. With more cranes in the sky today than New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco combined, Toronto continues to experience population growth. Master-planned high-rise communities are accommodating the rapidly changing
needs of our city. But while we have built up, have we been building right?

 

This tour will explore the high-density transformation of various neighborhoods in and along Toronto’s former rail lands. Key projects will include The Well, CityPlace, and the proposed Rail Deck District. What lessons can we learn from these high-rise communities for other growing areas in Toronto and beyond?
