Google’s vision for a Toronto waterfront smart city<\/a> is no more. Daniel L. Doctoroff, CEO of the urban innovation startup Sidewalk Labs, announced<\/a> that plans to move forward with the ambitious and controversial redevelopment project have been abandoned. Citing \u201cunprecedented economic uncertainty\u201d, this cancellation reflects just how hard the construction and design industry has been hit by the COVID\u201319 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017, Alphabet Inc. subsidiary, Sidewalk Labs, announced a $50 million investment into a project to redevelop a portion of Toronto\u2019s waterfront. Named Quayside, the plan sought to transform a 12-acre stretch of disused dockland along Lake Ontario just east of Toronto\u2019s downtown core. <\/span>The vision for the project included everything you\u2019d want from a \u201csmart city\u201d: affordable housing, public space, green construction methods, enticing design renderings by the likes of Heatherwick Studio<\/a> and Sn\u00f8hetta<\/a>, and an array of cutting-edge technology, such as self-driving cars and heated sidewalks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since its inception, however, Sidewalk Labs had been faced with significant controversy and pushback. Local citizens, civic leaders and activists raised concerns about the privacy implications of the project and how the Alphabet company would collect and protect data collected from an array of sensors and devices throughout the neighborhood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Critics also felt that the plan did not appear to put citizens at the center of its design process and was more concerned with developing technology and the private needs of its parent company. Furthermore, there were also concerns over how much of the city\u2019s waterfront Sidewalk Labs wanted to control. The company attempted to widen the scope of the development to 190 acres, but eventually agreed to scale it back down. In the end and <\/span>$980 million<\/span><\/a> later, the project still didn\u2019t have all of the government approvals it needed to actually move forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is evident that Sidewalk Labs\u2019 Quayside project was in trouble long before the pandemic. However, the final push to its demise derived from COVID\u201319, a fate that\u2019s been shared by the building and design industry as a whole. In April, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) released its first economic examination of residential design work<\/a> as it deals with the pandemic. The findings were not great. As stated by AIA, \u201cThe momentum building in the housing market since the Great Recession has completely reversed itself over the course of just a few weeks\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The AIA\u2019s report revealed that revenue at residential architecture firms for March is estimated to have dropped 15 percent below what was expected, with April revenue expected to be almost 20 percent below previous expectations. Demand for residential design activity is expected to continue to suffer until the homebuilding and home improvement industries return to their normal pace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Freezes on construction, disrupted supply chains and slower approvals are among the issues that are exacerbating the downturn. So far, as reported by the AIA, smaller firms with a focus on residential projects have been hit the hardest. However, as evidenced by the cancellation of the Google’s huge Quayside redevelopment project, it\u2019s clear that the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic extend across all levels of the design industry.<\/span><\/p>\n
