; Governance Simcoe Island Toronto is built on the former lake bed of Lake Iroquois This large flat expanse presents few natural limits to growth and throughout its history Toronto has sprawled outward and today has a ring of suburbs that spans hundreds of square kilometres in 2005 the provincial government has attempted to place an artificial limit to this growth in the form of a Greenbelt around the city Toronto was planned out on a grid system of concession lines spaced about two kilometres apart that separated rural landholdings Major avenues were established along each concession line as the city spread outward These avenues run straight with few diversions for long stretches and Toronto is notable for the considerable length of its major streets Most of the avenues go from one side of the city to the other and often continue deep into the neighbouring suburbs Suburban expansion replaced these rural lots with subdivisions made of crescents and cul-de-sacs These local road networks were designed to reduce and slow traffic redirecting vehicles to the avenues These wide avenues that even run through the central city have also made it easier for Toronto to retain a streetcar system which was among the few North American cities to do so The most important obstacle to construction is Toronto's network of ravines Historically city planners filled in many of the ravines and when this was not possible planners mostly ignored them though today the remaining ones are embraced for their natural beauty Ravines have helped isolate some central neighbourhoods from the rest of the city and have contributed to the exclusivity of certain neighbourhoods such as Rosedale Opened in 1889 the Don Valley Brick Works was one of several local brickworks the abundance of clay in the area made brick a commonly used material for construction Building materials. . .

Over time pockets of industrial land mostly followed rail lines and later highway corridors as the city grew outwards This trend continues to this day the largest factories and distribution warehouses are in the suburban environs of Peel and York Regions; but also within the current city: Etobicoke (concentrated around Pearson Airport) North York and Scarborough The West Don Lands is one of many former industrial sites in the downtown area that has undergone redevelopment Many of Toronto's former industrial sites close to (or in) Downtown have been redeveloped including parts of the Toronto waterfront the rail yards west of downtown and Liberty Village the Massey-Harris district and large-scale development is underway in the West Don Lands the Gooderham & Worts Distillery produced spirits until 1990 and is preserved today as the "Distillery District," the largest and best-preserved collection of Victorian industrial architecture in North America.

Formerly a marsh that was filled in to create industrial space it was never intensely developed its land unsuitable for large-scale development because of flooding and unstable soil it still contains numerous industrial uses such as the Portlands Energy Centre power plant some port facilities some movie and TV production studios a concrete processing facility and various low-density industrial facilities the Waterfront Toronto agency has developed plans for a naturalized mouth to the Don River and to create a flood barrier around the Don making more of the land on the harbour suitable for higher-value residential and commercial development a former chemicals plant site along the Don River is slated to become a large commercial complex and transportation hub Public spaces.
