The evolution of the Toronto skyline since 1957

Rewind almost seven decades, and Toronto's skyline was defined by a few noteworthy stone-clad buildings. But everything would change in 1967 with the rise of Mies van der Rohe's TD Centre, which ushered in generations of profound growth that completely transformed the shape of the city from a burgeoning lakeside metropolis to an international hub.

The city's verticality has only grown in recent times, with new additions joining the skyline every year.
