ConstrucToronto, a time-lapse video making the rounds on the Internet, documents Toronto's seemingly unstoppable high-rise construction. As reported by
Yahoo News (who also featured the video), there is now almost more high-rise construction in Toronto than all of the US combined
"If you live in the city of Toronto almost everywhere you look you will see new construction. There is so much the National Post referred to it in a headline as the 'city of mass construction.' But rarely do people get to view it in fast forward. When one photographer started to see a building going up, the camera started rolling."
"'I thought I'd try to document it as best I could,' said the filmmaker, who goes by the handle FMR on vimeo. 'My second attempt at a 'time-lapse' and 'tilt-shift' piece.'"
"There are 132 buildings under construction in Toronto, followed by 88 in Mexico City and 86 in New York City. In all of the US, there are only 139 highrises being built. And Toronto isn't the only Canadian city with a boom. Calgary, Vancouver and Mississauga are building eight, seven and six high-rises respectively."
