  Making Waves – Central Waterfront Plan Part II
   

Making Waves – Central Waterfront Plan Part II"The Celluloid Waterfront"
"The waterfront becomes symbolic of our human limitations – and of our potential. It functions as both a physical and a psychological frontier. By representing what is deep and knowable, it suggests both our hopes and our fears for the future. It is a shimmering mirror which reflects the sunlight of the day and the city lights of the night, breaking them up into millions of sparkling rays, abstracting and making poetic our work-a-day world."

-John Rubin

With this report, Toronto begins making waves to build its new waterfront. The Central Waterfront Part II Plan spells out key public priorities, opportunities and an implementation process to ensure results. The Plan focuses on core principles and big public moves, leaving area-specific details to precinct development strategies that will be completed later.
