The abandoned Downsview Airport in Toronto, Canada, will be transformed into a modern city, with seven neighborhoods, that will house approximately 66,000 residents and will include over 30,000 housing units. The project, named 'YZD', will begin this year and has an estimated investment of 18 billion euros. By 2051, developers hope that the city will be able to accommodate 83,000 people. A central aspect of the plan is the creation of 22 hectares of parks and green spaces, including green roofs to help manage rainwater. The streets will be designed to favor pedestrians, and the remaining buildings of the former airport will be integrated into the new community. The airport was opened nearly 100 years ago and was used until 2024 by an aerospace manufacturer.
