Toronto is, obviously, a desperately bland server farm of a city. But one thing that they really got right was creating a green belt. We should have done that 75 years ago, back when they were internationally in vogue. A real shame. Instead: ugly sprawl. And now any actions to correct it will take a lot more effort and money. Another big problem is that with our ultra low rise zoning patterns, preventing sprawl with a green belt would have led to a housing shortage/skyrocketing rents.

Toronto has it’s faults but blandness hasn’t been one of them for quite a while.
