A look at the $30-billion eco-friendly neighbourhood being built in Toronto over three decades

by Dave LeBlanc

The former Downsview Airport is now the biggest urban development project in North America at a projected cost of $35-billion.

Pity the children who will call YZD their home in, say, 2035. They’ll never know the joy of yelling “Car!” as they struggle to move hockey nets to the side of the road as others wrangle the bouncing tennis ball. No, in what will be Toronto’s newest, most eco-friendly neighbourhood – covering a whopping 150 hectares – the main thoroughfare will be car-free.

Should they ask their parents, however, they’ll learn that their two-kilometre-long play pad once had all kinds of traffic on it – the big, winged kind – until airport operations ceased in mid-2024.
