Hidden data may be related to the photograph. A high proportion of the condominium units downtown Toronto are vacant, and an accurate estimate of the true density of the Toronto downtown and its population has yet to be determined. Energy is a deep concern in the Province of Ontario, as recent shift toward clean energy have proven to be very costly with multi-jurisdictional considerations. Transportation and traffic in Toronto are of significant concerns (gridlock is common), especially in the downtown core. Trams, subways, and public transit are used, and the level of public usage can be tracked at least in part using a variety of means, including fares and sensors. Seasonal energy usage is very important in Toronto as the summers have been record breaking in recent years, and the winters are very cold, making heat islands of concern. Also, the picture is interesting in the construction geometry - the skyline of Toronto has changed dramatically with many condo towers having been built over the last one to two decades. The concentration of new towers has recently become concerning, as the density of towers - and taller towers - may be precluding sufficient sunlight from reaching ground level for livability, and may be of additional concern for urban heating. Downtown Toronto is on the lake front, and space is in high demand for residential, business, and recreation purposes.
