  Toronto is considered a world-renowned city in terms of place (quality of natural and built environments), people (diversity of population), product (key institutions, attractions, and infrastructure), and prosperity (standard of living), and is ranked in the top 20 of the world’s best cities to “live, work, invest and visit.” Dynamic neighbourhoods, globally recognized institutions, and a vibrant arts and culture scene belie the many challenges it faces, including inequity, climate change, mobility, housing, and community and neighbourhood development.

• With a population just short of 3 million people, the city of Toronto is the largest in Canada, and one of the largest in North America.
• The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) includes around 6.5 million people, stretching along the shore of Lake Ontario and including suburban communities further inland.
• Toronto is also one of the most multicultural cities in the world, making life in Toronto a wonderful multicultural experience.
• More than 140 languages and dialects are spoken in the city, and almost half the population Toronto was born outside Canada. 
• Living in Toronto, particularly anywhere near downtown, can be expensive.
• Rents are among the highest in Canada, and other standard monthly expenses such as phone plans, groceries, and transit are not cheap either.
