Residential redevelopment in the West Don Lands
Revitalizing Toronto's Waterfront
By Esri's StoryMaps team
The West Don Lands
Located east of downtown Toronto, the West Don Lands consist of 800 acres of former industrial lands.
Overseen by Waterfront Toronto , these lands have been undergoing redevelopment and are set to become a model for urban redevelopment for cities around the world.
A portion of the oblique aerial view of downtown Toronto cropped to the West Don Lands. The exact boundary of the neighborhood and buildings within have been outlined and highlighted in golden yellow and the surrounding city has been de-emphasized.
