Density (stock). The downtown core of Toronto is highly populated and very dense. There is a large concentration of office buildings and condominiums in the area. The financial district in particular is extremely dense due to many skyscrapers that get filled up with workers everyday. As you go farther out of the city into the GTA, it becomes less dense. I imagine that in the future the density will continue to grow even more. Toronto is known for the constant construction that is always occurring and I see many new buildings that are always being developed. A plan of action must also be developed along with all of this new construction since traffic and crowding is only getting worse and worse. This map shows the density of Toronto and the GTA ![enter image description here][1] People (flow). Toronto always has a constant flow of people in and out of the city. During weekday mornings and afternoons the city greatly increases the amount of people within in due to commuters coming to work and students going to school. On weekday evenings the flow of people leave the city since many live outside of Toronto’s downtown core. Other large flows of people into the city occur on Friday and Saturday evenings with many young people going out to bars, clubs and restaurants downtown. Toronto is a very multi-cultural city with many immigrants coming in from all over the world. This continuous immigration also keeps the flow of people increasing. In the future, the flow of people will continue as many people enter and leave the city. By tracking these numbers as well as the migration patterns and preferred areas of living, we can assess what areas of Toronto need to be further developed and what new solutions can be created for the growing number of Toronto residents. On this map, each green dot represents 100 recent immigrants. This was the census from 2006 and the numbers only continued to increase. ![enter image description here][2] Water (stock). Toronto is situated right along Lake Ontario. We have a constant stock of water available to us that can be used for multiple things such as providing drinking water, swimming, fishing, cooling systems, waterfront access, etc. In the future, Toronto can look into developing its waterfront since it is currently underdeveloped. The stock of water will continue to be here and we can find innovative ways to use this stock and make it accessible to everyone.
