For Mayor of Toronto · 2026Connected systems
Plan housing, mobility, energy, food, climate, culture and public services together rather than as isolated files.
Home / GigaCity
From Megacity to GigaCityA megacity is large. A GigaCity is capable.
A GigaCity is not a city governed by machines. It is a city governed by people equipped with better knowledge, stronger institutions, responsible tools and systems that work together.
The principle
One investment should create many benefits.
A data centre can provide computing power and useful heat. A rail station can move passengers and connect homes, jobs and education. A housing project can create homes, community facilities and a lasting public landmark.
Human-centred design
Measure time, physical effort, accessibility, reliability, comfort and the complete experience of residents.
Smarter leadership
Ask better questions, compare alternatives and identify problems before public money and concrete make them difficult to correct.
Expanded human capability
Use Universal Extended Intelligence to help people learn, create, work and make decisions without surrendering accountability to machines.
The vision in action
A capable city connects investments so each one creates more public value.
The GigaCity becomes real through housing people can afford, a connected rail region, stronger creative industries, food resilience, better public decisions and protection before crisis.
