    Abstract
    Toronto’s historic and evolving urban landscape reflects the history, realities, and aspirations of the city’s over 2.5 million residents, and the identification of cultural heritage resources is increasingly informing contextual, place-based development that builds on what makes Toronto a unique, competitive, and livable city. Toronto’s rapid and intense growth presents a number of challenges - unexpected high-profile demolitions have sparked increased community interest in heritage conservation, revealing peoples’ connection to place. Alongside complementary planning activities, heritage planning is being embraced for its value-based approach, with many Torontonians pushing for change that challenges the status quo, inspiring new approaches to urban development and city building.
     
    Le paysage urbain historique en constante évolution de Toronto reflète son histoire, ses réalités et les aspirations des 2,5 millions de personnes qui y habitent. L’identification des ressources culturelles patrimoniales est de plus en plus éclairante sur le plan du contexte, de l’aménagement conçu en fonction des lieux qui tire parti des caractéristiques qui font de Toronto une ville unique, avantageusement concurrentielle et habitable. La croissance rapide et soutenue de Toronto pose un certain nombre de défis. Des démolitions inattendues et très médiatisées d’immeubles ont suscité un intérêt accru de la collectivité pour la conservation du patrimoine témoignant ainsi d’un sens d’appartenance aux lieux. Parallèlement à des activités d’aménagement complémentaires, l’aménagement patrimonial suscite de l’intérêt en raison de son approche axée sur la valeur. C’est pourquoi nombreux sont les Torontois et les Torontoises insistent pour voir des changements qui remettent en cause le statu quo, inspirent de nouvelles approches en développement urbain et en aménagement de la ville.
