This is dervied from land use/land cover digital data collected by USGS and coverted to ARC/INFO by the EPA. This data is useful for environmental assessment of land use patterns with respect to water quality analysis, growth management, and other types of environmental impact assessment. Use may be limited due to currency. Land use and land cover data (LU/LC) collected by USGS NMD is useful for environmental assessment of land use patterns with respect to water quality analysis, growth management, and other types of environmental impact assessment. Data are meant to be used by quadrangle, or among adjacent quadrangles where temporarily contiguous. Can be used in any geographic application where intermediate scale land use data are appropriate and the dates are representative.

In June 2025, the average sales price in Greater Toronto, Canada, was the highest for detached houses, at **** million Canadian dollars. Buying a condo would cost a homebuyer about 696,000 Canadian dollars. Toronto is Canada's most populous city and the country's most important economic center. It consists of 25 municipalities, including Toronto City, Mississauga, Brampton, and others.

The Development Pipeline bulletin examines how and where the City has been growing over the past five years and how it may continue to develop in the near future. It summarizes information from the City of Toronto’s Land Use Information System II, providing an overview of all projects with any development activity between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2019. This development pipeline data is supplemented by other data sources such as CMHC, Statistics Canada and the Toronto Employment Survey. For further information refer to the bulletin.

See "Municipal Land Transfer Tax Revenue Summary Readme" File City of Toronto revenues from the Municipal Land Transfer Tax per month beginning in year 2009. The City of Toronto tracks the revenue it receives from the Municipal Land Transfer Tax and reports these data quarterly in its Management Information Dashboard report (available at www.toronto.ca/progress). Revenue from the Municipal Land Transfer Tax is calculated as a percentage of the value of the home (as constructed or, for resales, considered), and will therefore vary from month to month depending on the number of sales and the value of homes.

Toronto’s Don River Valley is arguably the city’s most distinctive physical feature. As a provider of water, power, sustenance, building materials, and transportation, it has played an important role in the city’s settlement and development. The river valley has changed dramatically in the years since European settlement, particularly during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, when the Lower Don River was straightened and channelized and the huge marsh at its mouth drained and filled. Today, the Lower Valley forms the foundation for one of the most densely populated areas in Canada, outlining as it does the eastern portion of Toronto’s downtown core and radiating residential areas. This project documents historical changes in the landscape of the Don River Valley. Drawing from the wide range of geographical information available for the Don River watershed (and the Lower Don in particular), including historical maps, geological maps, fire insurance plans, planning documents, and city directories, the project uses Geographic Information Systems software to place, compile, synthesize and interpret this information and make it more accessible as geospatial data and maps. The project is a work in progress. To date, we have scanned several dozen historical maps of Toronto and the Don River watershed, and compiled the following geospatial datasets: 1) changes to the river channel and shoreline of Toronto harbour, 1858-1918; 2) industrial development in the Lower Don River Watershed, 1857-1951 (as points, and in some cases polygons); 3) historical mill sites in the Don River Watershed, 1825; 18524) land ownership in the watershed, 1860 and 1878; and 4) points of interest in the watershed. In the future, we hope to expand the project to include data from other Toronto area watersheds and other parts of the city. The project was conducted through a collaboration between Jennifer Bonnell, a doctoral student in the History of Education program at the University of Toronto's Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE/UT) - now at York University in the History Department and Marcel Fortin, the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Map Librarian at the University of Toronto's Map and Data Library. Financial and in-kind support was provided by the Network in Canadian History and Environment (NiCHE) and the University of Toronto Libraries. Valuable research support for the Points of Interest pages came from Lost Rivers, a community-based urban ecology organization focused on building public awareness of the City's river systems. Jordan Hale, a University of Toronto Geography student conducted much of the digitization and database work.This project could not have been completed without their skilled assistance and dedication.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows a map with four condensed maps of the cities Toronto and Ottawa. The first two maps show the extent and classification of land use circa 1955 for both Toronto and Ottawa. For Toronto, stages of urban growth are shown for periods ranging from 1793 to 1955 and for Ottawa, the periods range from 1826 to 1955. The urban growth maps represent the expansion of areas occupied by structures, yet the small open areas classified as parks and playgrounds on the land-use maps are also included. These two remaining maps show the extent and classification of land use for both of these cities. The classifications for land-use maps were separated into: Industrial buildings; Industrial yards; Commercial buildings; Commercial yards; Railways and their installations; Institutional buildings; Residential buildings; Cemeteries; Dominantly farm land; Vacant land. In areas classified as dominantly farm land, vacant land includes forested areas, swamps, bogs and all large areas not put to specific agricultural use.

2008 Study: High resolution land cover dataset for Toronto with eight land cover classes: (1) tree canopy, (2) grass/shrub, (3) bare earth, (4) water, (5) buildings, (6) roads, (7) other paved surfaces and (8) agriculture. This dataset was developed in 2007 as part of an Urban Tree Canopy (UTC) Assessment for Toronto. As such, it represents a "top down" mapping perspective in which tree canopy over hanging other features is assigned to the tree canopy class. At the time of its creation this dataset represents the most detailed and accurate land cover dataset for the area. Projected coordinate system name: MTM_3Degree Geographic coordinate system name: GCS_North_American_1927 Urban Forestry performs a complete Forest and Land Cover survey and analysis every 10 years. The next installment of this survey is taking place in 2018. 2018 Study: High resolution land cover dataset for Toronto with eight land cover classes: (1) tree (2) grass (3) bare (4) water (5) building (6) road (7) other paved surfaces and (8) shrub. This dataset was developed in 2018 as part of the Tree Canopy Study prepared for Toronto. As such, it represents a "top down" mapping perspective in which tree canopy cover hanging over other features is assigned to the tree canopy class. At the time of its creation this dataset represents the most detailed and accurate land cover dataset for the City. Classes 1, 2, 3 and 8 (tree, grass, bare and shrub) were extracted from multispectral satellite imagery, with the assistance of LiDAR information.
