Development Pipeline bulletin (2022 Q2) examines how and where the city has grown over the past five years and how it will continue to develop in the near future.
Toronto is Canada’s most populous city, the focal point of development and growth, and the heart of the Greater Toronto Area.
For many years now, Toronto has experienced a surge of both residential and non-residential growth.
Toronto is growing with strong development prospects helping to bring more people and jobs into the City.

Toronto’s Official Plan came into force in June 2006 and has subsequently undergone a number of thematic amendments to bring it into conformity with the Growth Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement. The Official Plan is the guide for development in the city over the coming decades. Its central geographic theme is to direct growth to appropriate areas given their access to transit and other community services and facilities and away from the city’s stable residential neighbourhoods and green spaces.
The locations recognized as being most appropriate for growth are those identified in the Official Plan’s Urban Structure Map as Avenues, Centres and the Downtown as well as other areas in the city designated as Mixed Use Areas and Employment Areas.
