Development Review shapes how the City grows and delivers the services necessary to manage and promote growth. Staff conduct thorough reviews and assessments of every development application before a project can be built in the city.

In partnership with other City divisions and agency partners, the Development Review team is focused on getting more housing – especially affordable housing – built faster within complete communities all across Toronto. Along with housing, the Development Review division enables the delivery of parklands, commercial and cultural spaces, a vibrant public realm, community facilities, improved transit and landmark city-building projects. The division also helps to directly drive economic growth, job creation and social cohesion.

Through its work, the Development Review division is helping to build a more inclusive, equitable, vibrant and sustainable Toronto where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
