- Is Toronto The Next New York?
Toronto is becoming the next New York!
But why? And what Toronto skyscrapers could we expect to see?
The short answer is that the price and scarcity of land available in downtown Toronto make it a very attractive location for constructing skyscrapers. But is it all good?

Toronto is awesome! I lived in Argentina, the U.S. and now Toronto. Love it here!. Very modern and safe with a lot of nice people from all over the world. It’s far from perfect, but it’s a great place to live with NO doubt! Nice video by the way! 🙂 🙌
Toronto is not safe .. 22 public shootings in 2022 and people get beaten in the subway ... Coming from Argentina any city in the world is better
@@jeanbolduc5818 Not true. Even though Toronto has seen a rise in gun violence in recent years, the city is still safe overall and most residents go about their daily lives without incidents despite the uptick in crime. Comparing the safety of cities can be subjective and complex as it depends on various factors such as population size, location, and crime statistics. That being said, Toronto's overall safety level is actually similar to other major cities in developed countries around the world. Some cities may have lower crime rates in certain areas, while others may have higher crime rates in different areas. However, Toronto is still still relatively safe if you compare crime stats with other major cities around the world. This is just a fact whether you like it or not. Also, my experience has been great so far. I have been living here for 5 years and I never had an issue. Maybe your experience was different. All the best!
Toronto is not safe . 22 public shootings in 2022 , people get stabbed in the public transport. Police in the subway. Toronto has a USA culture where immigrants are living in ghettos ( China , India )
at least you said one thing true - far from perfect.
@@RedroomStudiosevery city is tbh
We're surely seeing the Manhattanization of Toronto but, more accurately, Toronto is becoming a bigger better version of itself.
its becoming crappier with wall to wall copy and paste condo towers crammed in with no regard to context or public space.
@@RedroomStudios Although I agree that the quality and design of what's being built isn't good enough, it's awfully simplistic to conclude that a city is becoming crappier based on just one of 100s of metrics. A ton of things have gotten hugely better over the last 20 years but people tend only to focus on the negatives.
@@RedroomStudiospretttty sure they're making more public parks
@@user-wd9mo4vr5d you guys need to visit and live in places outside Toronto . Canada to realize how crappy it is. it doesnt compare with Europe or Latin America. Toronto is only about maximizing greed by building as tall as possible and as cheaply as possible.
I love Toronto!!!
I love Chicago
I love New York
Three groups of people who are clearly triggered by this video.
1. New Yorkers: who think they live in the "best city in the world", only to realize New York doesn't even make the top 20 most livable cities in the world. Meanwhile Toronto and Tokyo are the only major cities that constantly make the top 10.
2. Chicago: Understandable since Toronto overtook Chicago to become the 4th most populated city on the continent after Mexico City, New York and Los Angeles. Go to downtown Toronto and go to downtown Chicago and you'll clearly see a difference. In Toronto you're more at risk of getting attacked by a raccoon. In Chicago, you'll be lucky if you get out of downtown without getting shot at.
3. Montreal: A city that was once the largest in Canada, but was overtaken by Toronto in the 1970s and hasn't looked back since. They left Montreal in the dust and some still haven't come to terms with it.
LOL
Great analysis
you sound like you live in Toronto and btw São Paulo has 20m+ people
Montreal has its charms and can hold it's own against Toronto in many ways. I am from Toronto but recognize every city is unique in their own ways.
Would be nice if more midrise pop up in the suburbs. We have the infrastructure here and subway and lrt running. (Finch West area)
My birth city has sure changed since I moved away in 1988.
the one will not be for "all toronto". most of its retail, hotel and definitely the condos will be unaffordable for 99% of the city's population.
0:59 looks like a movie scene from "Metallica: Through the never"
Tarano is a beautiful American city!!!
North American city
Skyscrapers don't add as much density as people think, mid rise buildings add a lot more density more sustainably.
no point to build mid ride buildings in a place with high land value, waste of space
it’s pronounced “queen’s KEY” not “queen’s KWAY” and you don’t say the second t in toronto
Torronna ??
That's NOT how you pronounce "Quay".....
pronouced "Key"
Bigger is not better , just more expensive to run .
Taraneau! 😂
Its NYC without the sofistication the culture and the edge
Toronto doesn't even have a chance against Chicago, let alone NYC.
wow, glad to read 2 intelligent comments among all the braindead "Toronto is amazing" nonsense.
To a nyc wanna be
You’re clearly not sophisticated, look at the way you spelt it. 😂🤦🏾♂️
Toronto is far better than Chicago and New York....that's why Toronto overtook Chicago as the 4th most populated city on the continent. But I understand why folks like you in Montreal are so triggered....Toronto has left Montreal in the dust and isn't looking back.
Enjoy 2nd place while it lasts. :D :D :D
I love how insecure Americans who've never left their neighbourhoods are about Toronto.
It doesn't matter how many cheap crap skyscrapers Canadians build it will never compare to Chicago in new York city
@@barronspears7918 it never was trying to. maybe watch the video. ffs.
I laugh at how arrogant and proud Torontonians are who have never travelled outside Canada. I'm from southern Ontario originally. Toronto will never hold a candle to Chicago in terms of building heights and architectural quality... never mind NYC. now grow up and stop mindlessly cheering for your hometown.
The buildings in Toronto are dull looking they don’t have enough bling bling in terms of style and architecture. The city just lets the developers build what ever they want. Every building that a developer wants to build should go through a design competition. If we are going to grow Toronto let’s make it look good at least.
the windiest cold mother f.....s hit hole
🙄
I wish people would stop comparing Toronto to NYC. Toronto could “probably” be compared to Chicago.
Although Toronto is experiencing an amazing skyscraper boom; the cultural and architectural diversity of NYC and Chicago will always be better than Toronto.
Why do Americans get so defensive about Toronto being the fastest growing city in North America and how it's going to be the second largest city in North America soon?
Torontos diversity is greater than Chicago.
@@C-mac_in_the_6ix I don’t think Americans get defensive but we just don’t like when Toronto is compared to American cities. It’s not the same culturally or even architecturally.
@@tokyogamer5825 - yes the culture of all the immigrants that are here. Nothing original to Toronto.
@@jshotwell454 It just comes off like you don't know Toronto very well. Many people think Toronto is the CN Tower and Dundas square but don't know the super dense vibrant walkable livable neighbourhoods like, St Clair west, Little Italy, Greektown, The beaches, Queen West, Midtown, UpTown, High Park, Korea Town, Korea Town North, Liberty Village, Little Portugal, Roncesvalles, Cabbage Town, China town east, Riverdale, Mount pleasant and way more! all these beautiful neighbours are either streetcar/subway oriented development with tons of culture with history, even people who live in the GTA don't even experience Toronto properly, many GTA suburbanites idea of Toronto is the gardiner expressway and the rogers centre, Toronto surpassed Chicagos population and is now the fastest growing city in north america, it even has more construction cranes than NYC, which is probably the reason why this Channel is comparing Toronto to NYC. Saying diversity and culture is not unique in Toronto comes off as weird since most people in Toronto know what its like to live in all kinds of metropolises around the world and can testify that Toronto is unique and full of culture. But dont take my word, take the world of the millions of people who actually live or lived in Toronto Proper [Old Toronto]. And p.s I really love Chicago, especially Lincoln Park neighbourhood.
Toronto isn't the capital of Canada.
Canadians need to get it through their heads that no matter how many crap cheap skyscrapers they build they will never compare to the amazing architectural legacies that new york and Chicago have created and showed to the world
No Canadian is saying they have it better than NYC and Chicago.
@@ahmedzakikhan7639 yes... yes they do. Toronto people swear they have a better skyline than Chicago
Amen
Atleast Canadian buildings don’t randomly collapse 😂
NYC
New Orleans
Surfside
The list goes on. If anyone builds crap it’s the Americans.
Since when did Americans started getting insecure about Toronto's skyline.
Toronto has nothing in commun with New York ... no identity ( fake Times square , CN Tower is not unique in the world) , no central park , not an island, poor art and poor history and culture, not a walkable city you need a car since Toronto decided to include cities more than 70 miles away like Niagara , Hamilton etc in their city ... No other Canadian or USA cities do that.
Montreal has more in commun with New York .. Canadian capital of culture , built on an island , with a central park ( same architecture ) , best food and the highest number of restaurants after new York , arts are everywhere . Montreal is a UNESCO world design city . Better subway system than NYC ... Montreal is unique like New York and a world class city ...
you started off with good points but then you exaggerated way too much. Hamilton and Niagara are not included in Toronto. they are part of a region known as the Golden Horseshoe. there are lots of metro areas that cover huge distances in the US... metro Miami for example is the 2nd longest urban area after NYC at about 100 miles long.
bias lmfao
It's factually untrue that Toronto includes places 70 mi. away. The Greater Toronto Area stops well short of Hamilton at ~35 miles from downtown. The built-up area extends continuously to Hamilton but Hamilton is a city in its own right with its own orbit. Absolutely no one speaks of 'Toronto-Hamilton' except for mass transit planners and other such specialists.
And actually, yes, the US does do such things. The Census Bureau has a designation of Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA) by which D.C. includes Baltimore, Boston includes Providence, RI, etc. The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington CMSA (11 counties (!)), is an astounding 8.7k sq mi., or about 95 x 95 mi. for 7.9m people. (Greater Toronto Area: 2.75k sq mi, 7.0m people. There has been an absolutely insane tidal wave of new residents in 2022-23, close to 400k people.)
Also, Toronto is walkable. You can live without a car just as in NYC, i.e., in the densest parts but not everywhere.
Finally, you wouldn't happen to be a Montrealer, would you?
Calgary City skyline is still slightly bigger than Toronto, but that may change soon if the growth continue.
Whattt- lol on what basis is it bigger ?
@@ahmedzakikhan7639 Calgary has a much larger and more attractive central business district, with a variety of modern designs incorporated into their office towers. Toronto has a too many condos, and very boxy outdated office towers. Until about 15 years ago the growth in Toronto was nearly stagnant for over 30 years.
@Billy Boy No it doesn't. Toronto has more than 2x commercial space in downtown which includes Bloor Street Gerrard University Queensquay that are outside the financial district.
@Billy Boy Toronto has the most high rise construction in the world.
@Billy Boy Young and Eglinton is more attractive than all of Calgary.
As a Newyorker let me say keep dreaming.and if immigration makes the city to build more skyscrapers we will do the same but even better.there is people coming to New York from south and central America coming to my State every single day. Between 5,000 to 8,000 thousands every single day.thats how my city star to growth back 2 centuries ago.the only difference is back on those days those people came from Europe mostly so Toronto will get build more skyscrapers but New York City will get the benefit of hard working peoples and star to build are own goodies and stop depending of china.we Newyorkers been tru a lot economically and sickness but we always get better and stronger then ever.not even Tokyo,Shanghai,hong kong
Or even Dubai can't bee like us.so please
Don't be ridiculous and cut the crab
Clearly you have no idea what your talking about.
@@C-mac_in_the_6ix whatever dummy
@@victormiranda5895 good one!!! How long did it take for you to think of that??
I know you're from New York, but do you have to type like you're from New York?
@@CM-vg3bn i don't know go ask your mom
No Toronto is not the next New York. Toronto does not have the beauty and great architecture New York has. All their new skyscrapers are in poor taste in fact even their old skyscrapers are not pretty to look at.
I promise you it isn’t that deep 💀
Toronto will be a better NY lol. Safer, cleaner, and more skyscrapers
@@dukezap1more skyscrapers bro compare 421 to 80💀💀💀
@@rosalieriverachacon Do you understand what "will be" means? As in the future. It's 99 currently, with 200+ more proposed / Under construction. NY is full, you won't see nearly as much development. Give it 30 years
@@dukezap1Id like to see where Toronto would put those new skyscrapers
