Alphabet subsidiary Sidewalk Labs Labs aims to improve urban life by using modular construction in high-tech developments and has applied to develop a 12-hectare site in Toronto. Details of the project remain private but it would be in line with Sidewalk Labs's aim of building high-tech cities and districts from scratch and making affordable, flexible and innovative living spaces. The scheme would also fit in with Canada's digital innovation strategy, which has led to Microsoft and Amazon opening engineering centres in Vancouver.
