Recreating Historic Toronto in 3D.

“There is no city that does not dream from its foundations.”
– Anne Michaels

what we do

EnvisionTO is a portal for experiencing and re-imagining Toronto’s historical topography. Using Toronto’s data diverse catalogue, city archive documents, and artwork by the incomparable Mathew Borrett, our city will be re-created from pre-confederate Toronto to the present – in 3D. Toronto is an integral part of our home and native land; it is our imperative to preserve and glorify its rich history.
