Infrastructure layer
Power, grid, data centres, connectivity, microgrids and district energy.
Jamie Atkinson for Mayor
Full-Stack AI City
The architecture for an intelligent Toronto: infrastructure, data, software, service applications, public experience and continuous oversight.
Full-stack city
Infrastructure to experience
A full-stack city means Toronto controls and coordinates the physical, digital and service layers of city government. It starts with energy and compute; it succeeds only when residents feel better service in daily life.
The platform treats electricity, data, software, public services and human oversight as one connected system.
The stack
Four layers
Data & software layer
City-governed cloud, digital twins, AI assistants, registries and oversight systems.
Service layer
Permits, 311, transit, safety, maintenance, housing and public health tools.
Experience layer
Faster service, safer streets, better commutes, lower costs and accessible help.
Winter advantage
The new gold is ice
Toronto’s cold climate, deep lake water and clean electricity are strategic assets. Used wisely, they can lower the cost and carbon footprint of civic compute and warm public infrastructure through recovered heat.
