The "Route of Heroes" is superfluous considering we already have the "Highway of Heroes" and it represents a further militarization of this country. BAD IDEA

Yes that's exactly what we need, governments running our shopping malls. Do you want all malls to look like this: ?

Excellent Roof! I'll have to check it out! What if they could also link up the AGO and Eaton Center to Nathan Phillips with some sort of treed walkway? I've been thinking about this for a while - thought I'd toss the idea up here. There's just a few 1-3 story warehouse-like buildings in...

Well... it's not resonating with me. And they're fiscally conservative EXCEPT when it comes to the military and "security." Conservatives have had this historically creepy obsession with all things military and big brotherish. It just doesn't make sense to me. How does a low tax philosophy...

This meeting's turning into pure idiocy. $900 million, closing off a chunk of downtown, sound cannons and security cameras. As much of a gung-ho capitalist, G-20 fan I may be, I can't see the benefits of this meeting exceeding the costs.

The GTA has one of the highest rates of "post-secondary" education in the world, which includes universities AND colleges. Considering university alone, many other cities are ahead of Toronto and if we look at graduate school completion, most US cities likely come out ahead (not sure about the...

No, but that map just happened to be attached to the income map. I was too lazy to crop it out.

That's a beaut! It has nice, crisp, modern lines which look beautiful from a distance, and also has a lot of details which bring aesthetic interest as one moves in closer. I really love these Hariri Pontarini designs. They do a very good job of incorporating a buildings purpose/theme into its...

Providence recognizes what it is and what it has. Look at how they incorporate their own unique architecture and sense of place in their new downtown developments: And as an Ontarian who's been out of province for a while, I now appreciate the architectural and cultural roots that...

In fairness to Olive, his article does address something fundamental. Detroit acknowledges its situation, is trying to do something about it, and is actually getting things done. Toronto, however, remains relatively complacent. Although downtown has seen good pockets of gentrification...

Yes probably in due time. The high land value at that corner probably can't sustain that small building for too long.

I'm starting to love the view looking down the Georgetown railway corridor as it comes into the city. There's a distinct condo canyon starting to envelope the rails as it passes through Liberty Village.

Thanks for the video! Love the big brick building with the glass rising behind it. It feels warm and dynamic at the same time.

These new Waterloo buildings are still very utilitarian, just like most other engineering schools. Look at MIT, the Cornell Engineering quad, the Toronto Engineering buildings. Tis a shame, we engineers want pretty buildings too

hmm ya true. I never noticed it before but the Vu corner has that middle school from the 70's look to it at ground level (except with shinier glass).

If only palms grew here. Then we could just plant a mature tree and be done with it. No need to wait for the tree to grow only to watch it hopelessly die of salt poisoning or root confinement.

Eeek I don't like the ground level of this one. I mean, I kind of like it as a stand alone, but not how it relates to the old mansion.

The old proposal's like some sort of glass brutalism. :p to that.

I always thought the central skyline looking from the West was kind of ugly. Looking from the East you have nice midrise, brick buildings and then a wall of bank towers rising from it - beautiful. But on the west side of the CBD it just looks messy to me. Boutique and these other towers in...

Lookin good! I like the emerging wall formed by Bay-Adelaide, Trump and Scotia
