Missed Connections: Locating equity in Toronto's transportation history

2024

The Infrastructure Institute is partnering with the City of Toronto’s Transportation Services to conduct a historical and archival review of major transportation infrastructure developments in Toronto and their impacts on low-income communities and communities of colour. Through an examination of the circumstances that shaped the development of Toronto’s major arteries and transit interventions, this research examines how marginalized communities have been impacted by transportation developments and analyzes their implications for present-day urban divides. Findings from this report will contribute to internal capacity building efforts and shape the Transportation Services Division’s approach to its forthcoming City-wide transportation planning initiatives and community engagement processes.
