Block by Block: Reimagining Toronto

Reimagine the City—One Block at a Time.

What would you build if you could reshape Toronto? A community kitchen? A new park? A place to heal? Block by Block: Reimagining Toronto invites visitors of all ages to become city-builders through a fun, hands-on activity that blends imagination with civic engagement.

Step into this participatory installation and collaborate with others to design a city that reflects your values. Using wooden structures and street maps of real Toronto neighbourhoods, guests will shape their dream version of the city, one block at a time.

This pop-up installation is presented by Museum of Toronto in collaboration with The Power Plant.
