they should not aim to stop the wind blowing through the city, instead they should focus on directing it in one way. No wind = air pollution stays in the city directed wind = air pollution gets removed
russelljohnson2008 ya right.. well i guess you didnt see how intense the winds off the lake get in chicago. I been there and seen people fighting to stand imstead of being blown over by the wind. Its not always windy but when it wants too it is intense
@@ninja.saywhat There are a lot of engineers who could figure that out. I would make a turbine chain of small units and extend all edges of the building out 1m to accomodate them, except on the ground floor. A building that is 100m tall from that point would create a new 400 square meters of wind capacity.
@@ninja.saywhat I know you dont know this but wind turbines can be built on water and most wind turbines are built on water do to the fact that along the coast is where most of the wind is blowing so it can utilize that. Canada only received wind turbines more then 20 years ago but Germany have been using these turbines more then 40 years and have built them along the water to power their cities. Canada has been behind some development where they should have added wind turbines around Toronto and use that to generate electricity or having fibre op cables put down all over canada while the rest of the world have already done that a long time ago. Do to development canada doesnt progress as fast as they should.
We're just starting to see towers built in SJO Costa Rica and I can alreay tell how much windy corners are. Can't imagine a city such as Toronto and all those buildings
with more buildings coming up there are government requirements to do wind study by consultants. so this issue is covered and addressed for the safety of people and stability of the building.
They show a diagram of wind rushing down three corridors one northerly, southerly and westerly to meet up and make one large westerly wind. Doesn't wind usually come in one direction at a time?
Instead of worrying over inane things like wind, Toronto should fix its public commuter system. The TTC is absolutely tragic when it comes to keeping an actual schedule.
Can’t get in or out or around the city and when it rains to hard raw sewage leaks into Lake Ontario there drinking water but they want to build 450 more buildings, don’t make sense to me
Not with the existing buldings , cost may be insane , but yes they can openings at points in sky scraper to help power it and dissapitate the down wash

Like Im so so so surprised that no one ever went nuts and start attacking them physically in a retaliation at this stage from all that non stop noise and really beep-beep-beep for 2 years and ... i mean while I understand these beepers were introduced for security measures for people walking near by; however, people living next to such buildings site do not have wear protective ear-wear non stop, nor do not have wear it too while sleeping, nor really should not be facing circumstances where comfortable enjoyment of their property is totally violated. Moreover, most cities in the world had already moved to what is known as [white noise beepers] at this stage and nobody really operates loud beepers, except 3rd world countries, as their regulations also take into account near by to construction sites resident rights as well.

Is this not a problem with every city with big buildings? What makes Toronto so special? I live in Edmonton Alberta and we have 68 floor skyscrapers here!
There is a story. Once Eric Clapton was standing in Thiruvalla bus stand. He was a big fan of Indian Art. So he said to the bystanders that his name was Corny and he was a musician. “Where are you going?” they asked. “I want to meet a dance Teacher. I want to learn Indian dancing. Indian dancing and Indian Politics are different from western thinking you know...” he said. They told him it would cost a lot of money. “I have leRned a lot of songs” he said. They treated him as a big guy. Lot of bystanders were gathered around him. He felt safe in the midst of them. Rest is history. Eric Clapton’s albums were sold all around India. Later somebody asked him what was the secret of his success. “You have to be an artist in the Land of communists” He said with a smile. China 🇨🇳 is a land of artistry. Without the Burkkalifa Dubai would have been in the Caribbean. Free pizzas aren’t freedom. There is a name for it. Bastards. The Kerala Police.

Pulkit Kumar yup
Unless you have tornadoes or hurricanes, wind is the last of your problems.
Art Man lol nope it’s not. If you live or work in downtown Toronto you would fully understand why wind is a problem.
@@mercutio3201 its not a problem, get over yourself.
@@racingfreddie It is though, especially in winter.
Alex Fredette your problems aren’t worse than others
Incomeking nobody should be putting other people’s situation down over the intensity of their own

No wind = air pollution stays in the city
directed wind = air pollution gets removed
Removed to the region's that still have fine situation with an air pollution. Nice decision
And pass it over a large wind turbine farm for free electricity
So you gotta harness the wind eh
Try downtown Calgary for wind. We had an office there in 1993-94 and you had to hang on to the sign poles.
All this time I thought Chicago was the windy city. Toronto needs that name more than Chi-town.
russelljohnson2008 you never been to Chicago then.
@@Vancovermycity Actually, I did visit Chicago frequently during the 80's while stationed at Chanute AFB in Rantoul, Ill.

that's not why Chicago's called the windy city.
Lethbridge alberta is the true windy city, in excess of 140km/hr
What a problem! Developed countries nowadays.... 😅✌
Lol canada lol
Thanks for the subtitles ! 😆 I'm Blown Away , I found the answer blowing in the wind. 😎
Well, wind is great in the summer.
This was actually really insightful 💯
why should somebody study wind engineering for 10 years .
He is one with the wind.
haha
Put up wind turbines to power the buildings. You don't need big ones. The wind is already there.
already been done, doesn't exactly work well
where you gonna put the wind turbines?

And downtown Toronto is a bit more vibrant than most American downtowns I think
It'sTaite um not true all, I guess u ain’t never been to Charleston SC
Well east coast cities are older
Hmmmm same goes for every city around the world
every year toronto makes 30 new skyscrapers and they never want to stop
Can’t get in or out or around the city and when it rains to hard raw sewage leaks into Lake Ontario there drinking water but they want to build 450 more buildings, don’t make sense to me
That's New to me . Good to learn.
Wind mills between buildings ?
Toronto should look to NYC it does a good job at managing wind one way is by the shape of buildings
when another countries still fighting over poverty and starvation.
Wow, hedges or trees reduce wind. Wow. There are like geniuses. Mind blown.
(Sarcasm).
skyscrapers: hi cousin
wind-tunnel: whats up cousin
skyscraper: you know, the usual

For some reason, the thumbnail is giving me Meryl Streep.

What's wrong with wind? Why don't you guys bring the wind to Scarborough?
When theres no buildings in your neighborhood.. no problem.
Really great story well done
Jeeze, it almost seems like you should put up some sort of device to capture the potential energy of that wind.....( sarcasm )
Lisa guerrero would have confronted the wind.
Those winds almost killed me twice.
Wow. Not once, but twice
So can we harness the wind power between the buildings?
Not with the existing buldings , cost may be insane , but yes they can openings at points in sky scraper to help power it and dissapitate the down wash
@@jomolololo4398 You'd think they'd figure out that price must be overcome for the overall betterment of us all, not just them.

I miss Toronto :/
not
Can this downwashed wind be used to power/ create electricity?
I don't think sticking a turbine in the middle of the city would be a great idea.
Very happy to live and work in the boring suburbs.
The wind capital of the world regardless of the towers or not and may I say it’s freaking cold too
How about channeling the winds into turbines to generate power.
It not a reliable power source. It a city why worry about thing that every city had the same problem.
I'm from New York and those arent skyscrapers more like a apartments 😂😂😂
Lol, You is Torontonians are the mini-new york. But yes we like do to emulate NY, but often fail miserably 😆 Still the best city in the world ✌️
