The Official City Plans of Toronto divided into five main chapters:
Making Decisions, Shaping the City, and Building a Successful City and Implementation

The Official Plan is about making the correct choices and shaping Toronto’s collective future. The Plan is about getting the fundamentals right and having a clear vision for the city grounded in durable principles that secure a prosperous future. Success is the key to a Toronto’s healthy future. Since Toronto is Canada’s largest city and Ontario’s capital, the prospects are of national and provincial importance. It is hard to see the connections and understand the consequences of choices to integrate environmental, social, and economic perspectives in decision making. There is no such thing as an isolated or purely local decision. Everyone makes choices every day about where to live, work, play, and shop, and over time. These consequences of the choices we make can affect quality of life that is why planning matters. This plan sets its sights on building a consensus around change by painting a picture of the city’s future.
This official plan relies on solid foundations that can stand the test of time. It builds on the vision of those who have helped the city to travel from its early roots as a settlement on the shores of Lake Ontario to a vibrant and modern city. It relies on principles of diversity, opportunity, beauty, connectivity, leadership and stewardship. The vision of the city’s plan is all about creating an attractive and safe environment for a city that evokes pride, passion, and a sense of belonging; a city where people of all ages and abilities can enjoy a good quality of life.
