Design Forecast Toronto: The Future of Cities

Editor’s note: This post is part of Gensler’s Design Forecast Local, a series of hyper local conversations with our clients about the topics that matter most in our cities.

Toronto is on the precipice of change. Or, more accurately, it’s on multiple precipices. Housing, retail, and transportation are among many factors of city life set to drastically transform as changes in tech, population, and climate necessitate new and innovative ideas. On Nov. 21, Gensler Toronto hosted "The Future of Cities," a series of short presentations in our office that showcased potential futures, near-term solutions, and precedents that demonstrate what can be achieved now.
