Saving Toronto

Once celebrated as the city that works, Toronto is a city on the brink. Featuring: Ilana Altman, Zahra Ebrahim, Anne Golden, Tim Gray, Ken Greenberg, Franz Hartmann, Josh Matlow, Matti Siemiatycki, Enid Slack, Bianca Wylie. Strained by urban sprawl, crumbling infrastructure, and chronic under-funding, Canada's largest city is coming apart at the seams. Its promise - of livability, opportunity, and innovation - is being undermined by years of inaction and political gridlock. But all is not lost. In Saving Toronto, ten leading city builders set out a bold, practical roadmap to turn things around. In their essays, they highlight the city's problems in governance, finances, housing, transport, environment, technology, infrastructure, social cohesion, and public space and offer coordinated responses. This is a wake-up call - Toronto's future can still be saved.
