I moved to Toronto in 2001 from London UK. The city has changed dramatically since then. The streets are far busier, there's way more 'stuff' on every block, the number of new buildings is astonishing, and the city is heading 'upmarket' in a hurry.

What initially felt like a cyclical building boom changed into one of those once in a century booms some cities go through as they morph into an entirely different type of place. It might be another decade or two before things settle down a bit.
