Biidaasige Adventure | UrbanToronto

1 week ago | urbantoronto.ca | Craig White

A section of new parkland in Toronto's Port Lands that is set to open this summer is captured in this drone shot by UrbanToronto Forum contributor ash_iwn95. With the downtown skyline to the west, the adventure playground at Biidaasige Park on Ookwemin Minising takes shape in May, heading for an opening rumoured to take place in July.

New maple trees and granite sets are being placed along the next section of the Water's Edge Promenade in this image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor rdaner. Soon to open around the Aqualuna condo from Hines and Tridel that is wrapping up construction now, this section of the promenade will take public access to the edge of Toronto Harbour as far as the Parliament Slip. The stage after that which will continue the promenade eastwards to the Cherry Street bridge will get underway in coming years.

A small aircraft heads for a landing at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport while a virtual regatta appears to be underway on the waters of Toronto Harbour in this image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor stapler. At centre, a crane rises over the SkyTower at Pinnacle One Yonge, about 77 storeys up and heading for 106, to become Canada's second supertall and its tallest building.
Dawn of a New Week

As another week kicks off, this image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor mburrrrr captures the sun rising over Lake Ontario, soon to rise over towers on the east side of Downtown Toronto. In this case, it is neatly tucked between the crane for The Goode Condos now under construction on Parliament Street, and the tops of condos in the Distillery District.
Smazy Days | UrbanToronto

2 weeks ago | urbantoronto.ca | Craig White

Smoke from the wildfires in Western Canada has produced on-again-off-again gray or even sepia toned skies over the last couple of weeks. This shot by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Froggy looking southeast over the Regent Park area from June 6, 2025, captures a mixture of smoke and haze from one of the worse air quality days of late.
Orthogonal Diagonals | UrbanToronto

2 weeks ago | urbantoronto.ca | Craig White

Orthogonal would be a good word to describe the geometries on display in this image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor ADRM of Mirvish Village in central Toronto; as we see 90° angles almost exclusively (the open door defies the otherwise orderly display, even if it is made up of right angles as well), but add three dimensionality into the image via distance, and we experience all of this as diagonals more than anything else, along with a hidden vanishing point where all of those lines converge.
Quite The Flock | UrbanToronto

2 weeks ago | urbantoronto.ca | Craig White

Looking south along Kipling Avenue towards Bloor Street and Dundas Street beyond it, UrbanToronto Forum contributor Towered has captured seven of the eight cranes currently in the area being employed to build the new Etobicoke Civic Centre (the three closer cranes, a fourth is off to the left), and a residential development called The Stella (the four more distant cranes). The amount of activity here makes this the current densest concentration of cranes in Toronto; it's quite the flock.
Smokeset | UrbanToronto

Smoke from the wildfires in Manitoba has drifted into Ontario of late, changing our skies and sunsets. Already a red ball in the sky in this image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor MJS due to the shorter wavelengths being scattered by particulate in the air, the sun has been disappearing into the 'smaze' before hitting the horizon. In the foreground, One Bloor West cuts a striking figure.

3 weeks ago | urbantoronto.ca | Anthony Teles

Construction continues to transform the Six Points area of Etobicoke, where eight tower cranes remain active at Kipling and Dundas. On the south half of the site, work is advancing on The Stella, the official marketing name for a residential complex inclduing 26- and 30-storey towers at 5207 Dundas Street West.
