Homes
Add substantial housing inside Toronto and connect more housing outside it to jobs and services.
Home / GigaCity
25-year city-building direction · Long-term / partner-dependentFrom Megacity to GigaCity.
A Megacity is big. A GigaCity is capable: more homes, jobs, infrastructure and communities within reach, planned as one connected system without treating neighbourhoods or nature as disposable.
GigaCity · One connected plan — better everyday life, more human capability, stronger civic capacity, better infrastructure and environmental stewardship all serve the same goal: a better life for people and a healthier future.
See how it connects →The simple idea
Plan the city people already live across.
Families, jobs, housing markets, universities, airports, hospitals and transportation do not stop at municipal borders. GigaCity is a planning framework for coordinating that reality better.
The goal is not annexation for its own sake. The goal is to make boundaries matter less to opportunity, mobility and infrastructure while respecting municipal identities and democratic authority.
One metropolitan system
Housing, transportation, energy, jobs and nature move together.
Growth only works when the supporting systems arrive with it.
Mobility
TTC, GO, regional rail and high-speed rail form a hierarchy of complete journeys.
Infrastructure
Power, water, schools, parks, health, digital systems and emergency capacity must be planned before bottlenecks become crises.
Jobs
Connect people to more employers and employers to more workers while growing new industries in Toronto.
Neighbourhoods
Direct major growth where infrastructure can support it while protecting valued streets, communities and useful existing housing.
Planet
Use land, energy and transportation more efficiently, protect natural systems and design for climate resilience.
Connected Housing Network
Make more homes and jobs practically reachable.
Toronto still has to build substantially more housing inside the city. Regional connectivity is not a substitute for that work. It is a second lever: shorten practical travel times so more communities become real choices for households and employers.
A Toronto job should not require a Toronto-priced home — and a bigger region should not require endless car dependence.
