Canada's construction news
CREATIVE CLASS GROUP — There is a need for more housing on Toronto’s waterfront, Florida says, but it should be mixed-use, with other uses including major attractions.
Florida, a distinguished scholar-in-residence at the School of Cities, University of Toronto, writes if we keep doing what we’ve been doing, if we settle for “lovely parks and mixed-use neighbourhoods,” Toronto will remain just a very good, but boring and uncompetitive, city.“Toronto stands at a critical inflection point,” Florida said.
“That’s what happens in New York and London and now happens in Miami and Dubai and Singapore,” said Florida. “We’ve fallen desperately behind.” New York and London are the world’s superstars but Toronto was in a third tier — Dubai, Bengaluru, Dublin, Paris, Singapore, Los Angeles and Berlin all placed a tier higher.“I teach undergraduates in the commerce program, a lot of those kids want to leave,” said Florida. “And it’s not just New York and London, they’re saying, maybe I’ll consider Dubai.”
