A five-point action plan organizes an evolving list of Clean and Beautiful City initiatives into five key actions: Sweep It, Design It, Grow It, Build It, Celebrate It.

The plan includes approximately 48 initiatives, 13 of which are new proposals, and highlights a number of programs which already contribute to the Beautiful City agenda.

The action plan represents an ongoing cycle of activities in which the City and its residents are engaged at any given moment. For example, while great buildings and streetscapes need to be built, they must also be maintained, and trees must be planted to thrive, not just survive. Slippage in any of the links in the cycle will undermine the whole.

• Sweep It - These actions are primarily directed at achieving a Clean City. Programs include roadway and roadside cleaning, litter removal, graffiti management and sustainable maintenance.

• Design It - These activities are about getting projects ready for delivery. It includes designing and fundraising for projects and implementing them.

• Grow It - These activities are about restoring and enhancing the system of parks, gardens, ravines and trees that make Toronto green and healthy and act as an effective barometer of urban health and well-being.

• Build It - This refers to the actual bricks and mortar construction phase of projects.

• Celebrate It - Celebration recognizes the collective achievements of the Toronto Public Service, the community and the private sector in beautifying Toronto.
