Nobody fought and/or won it though. It was "purchased" by a series of treaties. Toronto sits on the "traditional territories" of the Anishinaabeg, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Ojibway/Chippewa but people claiming ancestry in those groups do not "own" the land. They negotiated for certain...

The area I'm concerned about is between the restored portion of Gibraltar Point and Hanlans... Immediately SSW of where the red oval is down to Gibraltar Pt... that area is in pretty rough shape since last summer.

I was out at the island - the erosion between the new, restored beach and the diminished Hanlan's has gotten much worse. Is there any intention of the City or TRCA to continue the restoration of the south shore of the island? I've looked online but cant find anyhting... Maybe the plan is for...

Please give a comparable example of where a 10-storey, mid-block building with entirely opaque side walls was approved on a commercial street with a fine-grain 3-storey streetscape? Not saying it hasn't happened - just thought you might enlighten me so I wont "sound cloistered" Indeed. The...

MVRDV exciting! When do we get to see the design?

I suppose the 413 will be supplying all the cars to fill that parking lot? A harbinger of what's to come for the green belt...

What really rankles here is that were are being lied to by our elected politicians about easily researchable facts. Retiring a street name for some cheap symbolism and some political points is embarrassing - but willful blindness to (and whitewashing of) real facts and historical context is...

ONE properties, your density is a success... but your massing is a big hot mess... sorry but you're up for elimination.

We're all used to parking lots and 3-storey buildings getting replaced with towers in Toronto - but I still find it extraordinary to see a 14-storey building knocked down for a 62 storey one... we'll likely see more of this in the coming years.

People love to pick on Cabbagetown but it's not even close to being either the richest nor the lowest density area in the city. Shameless hyperbole. I am sympathetic to Cabbagetowners as, in a generally unlovely city riddled with eyesores, it is one of the only areas that has any architectural...

The shadow impact probably woundn't be that bad... the main issue for me is the obliteration of the streetscape on Cawthra (trees and buildings). Central Toronto is short on charming pockets like Cawthra... every time an established piece of the city gets swept away for yet another banal...

Amherst hated indigenous people and attempted to commit genocide. Dundas's crime? Proposing the addition of a "sunset clause" into the bill that ended the slave trade in the British Empire. His action ensured the abolition bill was passed in the House of commons, (it had previously been soundly...

One that, when compared to most other countries in the world, enjoys a stable democracy, transparent government, broad civil liberties, tolerance of diversity and multiculturalism, high standards of economic freedom, quality of education and health care, and enviable standards of living. One...

There goes the gaybourhood

Who owns the surface parking lot? Why has it never been developed?

Are the steel piles (in the first image above) to support a new boardwalk?

Would like to understand better how the transition from grade to transit level works. My main complaint is the monotony and dreariness of the tower design. They're so big but devoid of charm. I think Hariri Pontarini could do way better for the east side.

D+S was inspired by HPA who was in turn "inspired by the AIDS quilt" when they built an addition to Casey House. :rolleyes: It will also make a good home for a billboard

Oooh classy!

Looks better but would be nice if there was some retail at ground level (where it'll still basically be a wasteland)
