The last few years of urban development have transformed the landscape of Toronto, with new buildings and infrastructure projects continuing to be built across the region. With future projects promising to further reshape the skyline, an exhibition taking place this June will illustrate our city's future built form with a series of scale models, panel illustrations, and virtual presentations covering the many projects that will shape "Toronto of the Future."
Sponsored in part by UrbanToronto and SkyriseCities, the free admission Toronto of the Future showcase will run from June 26th to 30th at Metro Hall, with thousands of visitors expected. Among the many exhibits featured, a 3D scale model of Toronto's entire Downtown Core—created by Hariri Pontarini Architects—will be on display in Metro Hall's rotunda throughout the exhibition.
The event will kick off with a ticketed VIP opening night ceremony on Monday June 26, 2017, to be attended by City officials, dignitaries, sponsors, exhibitors and media partners.
