EMERGING SUBURBAN ACTIVITRY CENTERS IN METROPOLITAN TORONTO

Metropolitan oronto has deliberately integrated transportation and land use planning for more than three decades. The first subway link was iopened in 1954, running 4.6 miles northerly from downtown, and was expanded incrementally to its present overall length of 33.8 miles. Land-use policy, through the Official Plans and zoning controls, encouraged development oriented toward the subway, and the downtown area became a high-density focus for the region. Since 1975, a policy of encouraging transit-oriented sub-centers has been pursued with some success, and a multi-centered region is developing.
