City building describes activities that guide the growth and revitalization of Toronto, including improving the built and natural environments, ensuring desirable development, integrating land use and transportation, enhancing access to community services and facilities, and conserving heritage resources.

Mobility is critical to the City’s recovery, and Council has prioritized addressing the loss of transit revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, enhancing the affordability and accessibility of transit, and promoting active transportation options for all Torontonians.
