100m is like the width of a small city block (Yonge to Bay is about 220m for example). Where is it in the photo ? I think creating a big downtown park about the size of the U of T St. George is a bit difficult thing to accomplish at this point. Probably we can nicely keep the Queen's Park in...

When I first came to Toronto years ago, I was surprised how many (big) trees there were in the low-density(2~3 storey house) residential area. It was... Very green, peaceful and nice. Then the next surprise was probably how treeless it was in the downtown and high-density areas! Not even so...

These future renders and images are what give me hope and make me stay in Toronto. I hope Toronto grows up not just in terms of the size and quantity, but also the quality of infrastructure, architecture and the masterplan. Things that people easily say are impossible in reality must be carried...

Nice creative work Aladone! I want to use the pictures that You made there in the future in the same way! :)

Again, just think about Stanley Park, Mount Royal Park, or the Central Park. (or even Grant Park in Chicago) It has to be both big enough(at least 400 acres) and close enough(almost attached to downtown), so that people live/ do business in downtown, or even international tourists can easily...

It looks like Wilket Creek Park and Edward's Gardens are irrelevant since they are so far away from downtown. I know Queen's Park is a nice one and sure is right within downtown. But, I meant a big park: a giant park you can be lost in, where you can get your freedom from the bustling city in a...

Nice photo, but I wish that was some kind of park instead of the residential area. I always thought it would be nice to have some nicely designed big park close to/ within downtown. High Park is somewhat far away from downtown, and to Toronto islands you need to take a ferry which makes it...

I think if there is one region in Canada should become a new province, it is the city of Montreal and the greater area. The benefit for this city from doing it will be almost like the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

That's interesting. I sometimes imagined I could build a replica of the Cathedral of Cologne or Notredame de Paris in Toronto, but make the inside a living space instead of a church.:D

I don't know if the lot is big enough but that's where I want Canada's first 0.5km(500m)+ to be. 105 Davenport Rd (the northern end of Bay Street) might a fantastic place to put a serious landmark, too.

What a great view ! hmm...I'm wondering if somebody in the future can build a gorgeous piece of high-rise architecture with a grand observation deck on the top (on the spot shown on the map below). This building, if gets built, itself is going to be a great monument at the northern end of Bay...

I took a short trip to Toronto Islands today and took this photo. Original size: http://s7.postimage.org/74kmgqoop/Toronto_from_Olympic_Island_Oct_30_2011.jpg

I say PATH is one of the most merciful, and nice things in Toronto, and it should cover a larger area of downtown. Although Toronto is supposed to be one of the warmest cities in Canada, many visitors and immigrants from most part of the World find here super cold during winter time. The thing...

Hi all, I love Toronto and Montreal so much, and for different reasons; Montreal for the beauty of history and geography, and Toronto for vibrancy and skyscrapers. Both are small cities for me, and somewhat lacking things that I think are important for a truly awesome and livable city. I was...

This is showing where exactly Toronto belongs. I think it's doing a great job in terms of the quantity, not quality(architecturally). I hope the day will come soon that we see (1)Toronto on the list for 500m+ buildlings.

I too think it will be really good to be surrounded by water!! It would work great for maximizing the temperature moderation effect. A city like Toronto located so far from the oceans needs that. I'm actually checking climate data of cities in the world almost everyday, and I found daily...

Looks really great with the new models! When will we get 500m+ in Toronto to give Steveve an opportunity to make his model even more dynamic and rich? :) I hope the rumor of a 100 storey building near Yonge and Bloor is true.

Actually, according to my knowledge and actual experience, Montreal, Chicago, and New York, all of them are much prettier, much higher class looking city than Toronto. Busy global tourists go to Tokyo for Japan, Shanghai or Beijing for China, Paris and London for UK and France to get a glimpse...

Thanks for the information! But, is the U of T school of architecture going to have the entire island and the Gothic Revival building or just a part of it? Could you give me more detailed info. on it?

So, 230 College St, Office dA OR 1 Spadina Cres? Can anybody tell me what's exactly going to happen to the architecture school of one of the most prestigious and beloved universities in Canada?
