Toronto Got These Neighbourhoods Right... Why Don’t We Build More Like Them?

Toronto has built some incredible neighbourhoods — so why don’t we build more of them? In this video, I break down two of the best examples of urban planning in Toronto: the St. Lawrence neighbourhood along The Esplanade and the Canary District in the West Don Lands. These communities were designed as complete neighbourhoods from the start, with parks, schools, housing, and retail all working together. I also look at current projects like Villiers Island (Ookwemin Minising) and Ontario Line station to explain what we’re getting wrong today and what Toronto should be doing instead. If you’re interested in Toronto real estate, urban planning, and how cities should grow, this video is for you.
