Tour of Toronto’s newest waterfront neighborhood, where innovative landscapes and high-quality public space take centre stage.For years, the Queen Elizabeth Docks were a reminder of Toronto’s industrial past, dominated by parking lots with few trees and former warehouse buildings that separated the city (and Torontonians) from the water’s edge. Now, after years of planning a transformation is underway where design is leading the way!
Join us on a tour as we explore this unfolding transformation through some of the buildings and landscapes of Toronto’s newest mix-use neighbourhood. At the centre of this tour will be imaginative and innovative landscapes and public spaces by prominent landscape architects that have catalyzed this redevelopment, and the ambitious plans of Waterfront Toronto to transform our waterfront.
