The Toronto Waterfront plan: A Slow Landscape as basis

A Slow Landscape forms the basis for redevelopment of the harbour area's at the Toronto waterfront. Together with a mixed-use strategy and slow traffic lanes and parks, this will be the place where, acording the masterplan, communities should 'grow'. Though in the renderings I do see also very big buildings, it seems there is place for small initiaves of groups of people or familyhouses.

To me these form the small seeds voor a slow transformation to a real city. The video shows a timeline where the built up area is growing. So there must be some rules or strategies in the masterplan to be flexible and react to changing programmes, circumstances and crisises. Check the movies:
