As July 2026 winds down, Toronto\u2019s urban landscape faces a series of pivotal development decisions. From a proposed $10 million greenhouse expansion at Allan Gardens to the City\u2019s formal motion requesting the transfer of the former Ontario Science Centre site, the city is at a crossroads regarding its public infrastructure.
