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Strained by urban sprawl, crumbling infrastructure, and outdated governance, Toronto is coming apart at the seams.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.
