<\/a>Imagine a brand new community designed around ubiquitous ultra-high-speed Internet access. Would the ideal online environment change the way its citizens live, work, innovate and interact? Canadians will start discovering the answer to that question in a couple of years when the first commercial and residential smart buildings open their doors at Waterfront Toronto, one of North America\u2019s largest urban revitalization projects. It will start with George Brown College\u2019s new Waterfront Campus, to be completed in 2012, and \u201cpeople will start moving into the first condos in 2012 as well,\u201d said Bill Hutchison, chair of Waterfront Toronto\u2019s i-Waterfront Advisory Council and executive director of Waterfront Toronto\u2019s Intelligent Communities. <\/p>\n
