Two studies, both completed for the City of Toronto, are focused on helping cities navigate the issues associated with high-rise growth. The first, the Downtown Tall Buildings study, developed a new vision for how tall buildings should fit in downtown Toronto; where they belong, how tall they should be, and how they should be designed in order to relate appropriately to people and their surroundings. It focuses on harnessing the vitality and energy of well-designed and well-located tall buildings to positively invigorate downtown streets and contribute to making great cities. The second, Growing Up: Planning for Children in New Vertical Communities, focuses on how cities can better accommodate families in high-rise-dominated, dense urban cores by exploring the needs of families at three scales: the unit, the building, and the neighborhood. The findings of these studies provide strategies and guidelines to help connect high-rise developments to their people, communities and cities.

Yansong Ma & Yosuke Hayano, MAD Design focus on the competition winning high-rise project for Mississauga, Toronto, by MAD Design at the CTBUH 2006 Chicago Conference held at the Herman Hall, Illinois Institute of Technology. Also discussed are tall building proposals in New York and China. Like other fast developing suburbs in North America, Mississauga is seeking a new identity that best explains her own character. We take this as a great opportunity to respond to the expanding need of the city in a special way. Our design forsakes the simplification principle of modernism; in fact, it expresses a higher level of complexity and the diversity of modern society through multiple approaches, and also caters to social needs at multiple levels. The building is sculpture-like in its overall effect and its design expresses the universal language of audacity, sensuality and romance. As the new landmark of the city of Mississauga, it will become an icon of the present landscape, with all its twisting rhythms resembling the human body.
