Publisher's Synopsis
Once celebrated as the city that works, Toronto is a city on the brink.
Strained by urban sprawl, crumbling infrastructure, and outdated governance, Toronto is coming apart at the seams.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 this book, ten leading City Builders set out a bold, practical roadmap to turn things around. Together, they show how we can:
- make local government work
- find the money to fix what's broken
- solve the housing crisis
- unclog our streets and transit
- confront the climate emergency
- navigate the rise of big tech
- foster social solidarity
- and design spaces that bring people together.
This is a wake-up call - Toronto's future is still ours to shape.
