Toronto's so-called "cultural renaissance" brought many changes to the city, including renovated facilities at the ROM and the AGO, and a new opera house. But there is one last major cultural facility still on the horizon. After nearly ten years of planning and delays, the construction of the Aga Khan Museum and Ismaili Centre has finally begun on a site at Wynford and Eglinton.

Even as the residential property market starts to hit a few snags, Yorkville has not seen a slowdown in construction. Though many people can't afford Toronto's current property prices, the rich certainly can. The revitalization of Bloor Street between Bedford and Church (along with the expansion and introduction of marquee stores like Hugo Boss and Hermes) has also helped keep the market buzzing in this area. But Yorkville's rapid expansion is also radically changing its character. No longer even a quaint village for the rich, it has become a neighbourhood of luxury towers and high-rises. Here's 10 more proposals that will keep pushing Yorkville (and the surrounding areas) upward.

Over the last 10 years, a tiny site in the Financial District at 66 Temperance -- one of the last surface parking lots in the area -- has seen a number of grandiose proposals come and go. At least five different buildings have been dreamed up, all of which eventually fell apart. Will a new proposal break the site's losing streak?

With the continuing de-industrialization of the city's railway lands, there are numerous opportunities for rebirth and new growth. One of these opportunities is the area around St Clair Avenue West, particularly between Weston Rd and Scarlett. To support this rebirth, city council has approved the development of a new big box retail complex at Weston Road and St Clair Avenue West. But is this the type of development the city should be supporting?

Toronto's architecture is considered relatively colourless. As Daniel Liebskind has said, "Toronto has some really grey buildings." In the winter the situation gets worse. But for fans of colour, there are encouraging signs that some bolder choices are creeping into the cityscape.

Despite a struggling economy and an unemployment rate that remains high, yesterday marked the ceremonial topping off of one the city's newest commercial office buildings, PwC (PricewaterhouseCooper) Tower. It also marked the groundbreaking for yet another commercial office tower, and the development of a new Delta hotel. While any construction is positive, the question remains: how can building new office towers be possible in this economy?
