I think Toronto's a great city. It's our ambassador city to the world, and does Canada proud. I'm from Vanouver, a city with capped height limits to 150m, the a couple of exceptions around 200m. Not at all impressive, but homogenous, if nothing else.
I like the Toronto downtown streets and tall buildings lining them, and the clusters of tall buildings that sprout ubiquitously throughout the city.
But from what I see in future planned renders, Toronto seems intoxicated with height and design daring that goes to the limits. I think I'm thinking of the Theatre District in this case.
I wish it were possible (need corporate donations, no doubt) for less audacious (outlandish?) high-rise designs and more a calming, harmonious citywide architectural
statement, dare I even suggest more pocket parks and open space downtown?.
Love Toronto, want to see it get ever better, but please don't overdo it, is really what I'm saying.
