Fifty years ago, Toronto's skyline was a mere shadow of what stands tall today. There was no CN Tower, no Rogers Centre and far fewer office towers and condominiums.
But 50 years from now, the city's skyline will look even more dramatically different, experts say, as immigration fuels a building boom in four key neighbourhoods: Bloor St. and Kipling Ave. in Etobicoke, Yonge St. and Highway 401 in North York, Yonge St. and Eglinton Ave., and McCowan Rd. and Highway 401 in Scarborough.
Hundreds of thousands of residential units are expected to go up in these neighbourhoods as urban density replaces suburban sprawl.
