The history of city building has had many evolutions, however, one thing stays the same; a relation to water. Toronto has a complicated relationship with its major water source, tampering with it, mistreating it, and even forcefully removing it due to the negligence of people of the past. “Tkaronto” explores the contemporary relationship we, as Torontonians, have with the water that surrounds us. Through a series of images showcasing the land from Toronto’s Cherry Beach, stretching all the way to its downtown harbourfront, we can uncover what it is that people in this city do with this extra land we’ve created. The start of the creation of the land was in the 1860s when the city of Toronto discovered the level of waste that was going into the harbourfront area, and decided to embrace it. They chose to fill in the land to expand the harbour, and of course, the people who got access to use this land were the wealthy of the city, creating factories and shipping yards that eventually became land used for the condos and office buildings that are so prevalent today. The Cherry Beach area is a modern version of this same idea. The land, once just a compilation of the mistreatment of nature so common in Toronto, is now becoming a new development for housing that the city says will be for all kinds of people. But if the history of artificial land if anything to go off, the reality of the future might be much different than envisioned.
