    An image from Sidewalk Labs’s plans for Toronto

    Sidewalk Labs, a sister company of Google, has published its plans to build a smart city in Toronto, sparking fresh controversy.

    In a 1,500-word document, the company laid out its ambitions to “improve the urban environment” with a variety of high-tech innovations.

    Toronto Waterfront, the body that will decide if the bid is successful, has questioned the proposals.

    Meanwhile, some citizens want the plans to be scrapped entirely.

    ‘Lab rats’

    The partnership between Sidewalk Labs and Toronto Waterfront was announced in 2017 and the plans to revitalise a disused part of the city was intended to be a model for future urban development.

    But citizens expressed concerns about becoming “lab rats” and questioned Sidewalk Labs’s motivations in building a city “from the internet up”.

    A group called simply Block Sidewalk held meetings to express growing concern about having a huge technology company making decisions about city life.

    The group has called a meeting on 3 July to discuss the plans.

    Sidewalk Labs chief executive Dan Doctoroff remained upbeat about its intentions, saying it wanted to create “something extraordinary” on Toronto’s eastern waterfront.

    “The proposal aims to create the neighbourhood of the future in the right kind of way with people at its centre and with cutting edge technology and forward-thinking urban design,” he said.

    Sidewalk Labs’s plan for the waterfront

    ‘Different perspective’

    The Master Innovation and Development Plan outlines a range of innovations – from thermal and advanced energy grids, to factory-based construction of timber buildings, to a dynamic mobility network with heated bike lanes and adaptive traffic lights.

    But in an open letter, Toronto Waterside chairman Stephen Diamond’s response seemed lukewarm, saying there were key areas where the two organisations had “very different perspectives”.

    This included the scale of the plan, which he said was “much larger” than the original 12-acre (48,500-sq-m) site, and its proposals to collect and store data, which he said required extra information to ensure they complied with applicable laws.

    Sidewalk Labs said it had spent 18 months consulting more than 20,000 Toronto citizens.

    487. Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    508. I have been surfing online greater than three hours today, but I never discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours. It’s beautiful worth enough for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the internet will likely be much more helpful than ever before.

    612. I comment each time I like a post on a site or I have something to contribute to the discussion. It is a result of the sincerness displayed in the post I read. And on this post CF Colors v 2.1, Post Formats Admin UI v1.3.1, and Social v2.10 : alexking.org. I was actually excited enough to drop a thought 😉 I do have a couple of questions for you if it’s okay. Could it be only me or does it appear like some of the remarks look like they are left by brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are writing on other places, I would like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Could you make a list the complete urls of your communal sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
