Toronto designs high-rise city community that puts children first
The city of Toronto’s latest study, Growing Up: Planning for Children in New Vertical Communities, sets out plans for vertical cities aimed at making children’s lives safer and more independent. The guidelines lay out plans for creating high-rise communities, offering community services, childcare facilities, school and retail facilities in and around high-rise buildings to encourage a sense of belonging and meet residents’ daily needs within walking distance. The intention is to encourage children to be able to explore the city safely while providing affordable living for families.
