Is there a design for Toronto’s parks? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Christie Pits is a melting pot of urban humanity. On an August Saturday there, hundreds of spectators watched the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball team get thrashed, lounging on the steep slopes above the diamond. To the south, down in the deep vale of the park, young people rested on the grass listening to reggaeton, while others sprawled on picnic tables or did kickturns on the skateboard ramps. It was easy, on an evening like this, not to notice that the park is a mess. Benches are broken. The ma

Alex Bozikovic is the architecture critic for The Globe and Mail and the co-author of 305 Lost Buildings of Canada. On a Thursday in June, 1961, sheriffs moved the Kaross family’s possessions onto the sidewalk. “Six men ... lifted everything that was not nailed down,” The Globe and Mail reported. Diane Kaross, then 14, appeared in a newspaper photograph perched forlornly on a pile of furniture. And for what? The family of four was having their house expropriated by the Toronto Board of Education
Globe editorial: The swing of young families away from Toronto needs to stop (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In May, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow cut the ribbon on a new building that will deliver 255 rental apartments, 51 of them with below-market rents. It’s a sign of the times that this, the construction of a single midrise building, is seen as a success in a dynamic city of 3.3 million. But it is.

This connect
Major redevelopment project at Yonge and St. Clair promises to set a high standard for urbanism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The intersection of Yonge Street and St. Clair Avenue is not one of Toronto‘s cultural hotbeds. The Weston family is planning to change that, and quickly. The family’s Wittington Properties is advancing a major redevelopment project that would bring three new towers and a performing arts centre to the area. It involves top-tier designers, including Canadian Omar Gandhi Architects and the Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The project, dubbed St. Clair Square, represents
Modernist architect Barton Myers believed in integrating old and new in urban landscapes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you fit hundreds of apartments into an old city block? Architect Barton Myers and his partner, Jack Diamond, had an idea: build in the backyards. For a site on Sherbourne Street in downtown Toronto, the architects designed a social housing project that could slide behind the existing houses, leaving the fabric of the city intact. That approach of adding to the city while respecting its character was a major contribution of Mr. Myers, who during a 19-year career in Toronto became a critica
