We all know that the Greater Toronto region is suffering from massive urban sprawl problems. We can talk all we want about how much denser our suburbs are. But at the end of the day, the GTA is chocking in sprawl. Downtown Toronto is seeing less and less of the business growth, and millions of sq feet of office space is opening up in Toronto's 905 belt.
So instead of sprawl, why can't Toronto send some growth to Hamilton.
Many people often site that Toronto is just to expensive for some business to open up offices.
So what if downtown Hamilton captured some of the growth instead of suburban office parks?
Just think if the governments worked together, and pushed most of the job growth into downtown Toronto and Hamilton.
What do you guys think of that. Do you think it would work to turn downtown Hamilton into the second corporate place after downtown Toronto.
Do you think a plan like that could work?
Instead of sprawl, it would be great to see T.O. take on the NYC way of doing things where they have Manhattan and then downtowns in area cities like Newark, and Jersey City taking up positions as second business centres.
I think it would make more sense to send some business to Hamilton then to have them set up shop in the 905 belt.
My friend and I drove through Markham the other night, and it is just freaky how much office buildings(normal office buildings, not offices attached to manufacturing) are going up.
But just think of the alternative. Downtown Toronto and Hamilton. To strong downtown corporate addresses, connected by high-speed GO TRAIN service
Could work very well.
