=====Toronto, Ontario===== Toronto has a longstanding policy of encouraging new construction along the route of its primary [[Yonge–University–Spadina line|Yonge Street subway line]].<ref name=":3">{{cite journal|last1=Cervero|first1=Robert|title=Urban Transit in Canada: Integration and Innovation at its Best|journal=Transportation Quarterly|date=1986|volume=40|issue=3|pages=293–316 |hdl=2027/mdp.39015021808582?urlappend=%3Bseq=307 |hdl-access=free }}</ref> Most notable are the development of the [[Yonge and Eglinton]] area in the 1960s and 1970s; and the [[North York Centre|present development]] of the 2 km of the Yonge Street corridor north of Sheppard Avenue, which began in the late 1980s. In the period since 1997 alone the latter stretch has seen the appearance of a major new [[Empress Walk|shopping centre]] and the building and occupation of over twenty thousand new units of [[Condominium (living space)|condominium]] housing. Since the opening of the [[Sheppard line|Sheppard subway line]] in 2002, there is a [[Condominium (living space)|condominium]] construction boom along the route on Sheppard Avenue East between Yonge Street and Don Mills Road. In addition to the subway, transit oriented development has also started to be prioritised for regional rail stations, such as [[East Harbour Transit Hub|East Harbour GO]].
