I'm getting old, I clicked on this because I saw the title and was like "I remember them saying they'd fix this back in the 80's"...to find this vid spoke about that. Time flies.

They should give everyone the day off on Windsdays.

All this time I thought Chicago was the windy city. Toronto needs that name more than Chi-town.

Try downtown Calgary for wind. We had an office there in 1993-94 and you had to hang on to the sign poles.

Unless you have tornadoes or hurricanes, wind is the last of your problems.

This was actually really insightful 💯

Well, wind is great in the summer.

That's New to me . Good to learn.

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

Thanks for the subtitles ! 😆 I'm Blown Away , I found the answer blowing in the wind. 😎

Really great story well done

Thank you Ryerson University

I daily feel a heavy gust of wind when i walk Bay Street from Union Station.

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.

CHICAGO is literally called the Windy City 🌁

why should somebody study wind engineering for 10 years .

What a problem! Developed countries nowadays.... 😅✌

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

Jeeze, it almost seems like you should put up some sort of device to capture the potential energy of that wind.....( sarcasm )

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

Put up wind turbines to power the buildings. You don't need big ones. The wind is already there.

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?

Toronto should look to NYC it does a good job at managing wind one way is by the shape of buildings

every year toronto makes 30 new skyscrapers and they never want to stop

Hmmmm same goes for every city around the world

And downtown Toronto is a bit more vibrant than most American downtowns I think

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

When theres no buildings in your neighborhood.. no problem.

OMG Balki Bartokomous is a wind specialist

Oh no not the wind!!!

I want to go there

Wind mills between buildings ?

Wow, hedges or trees reduce wind. Wow. There are like geniuses. Mind blown. (Sarcasm).

Those winds almost killed me twice.

What's wrong with wind? Why don't you guys bring the wind to Scarborough?

skyscrapers: hi cousin wind-tunnel: whats up cousin skyscraper: you know, the usual

when another countries still fighting over poverty and starvation.

I miss Toronto :/

Very happy to live and work in the boring suburbs.

u must install wind emulator for this

Lisa guerrero would have confronted the wind.

The wind capital of the world regardless of the towers or not and may I say it’s freaking cold too

I live in North York

How about channeling the winds into turbines to generate power.

First World problem #103... Wind giving dowtown people bad hair day

Put a windmill in between for renewable energy then

Can this downwashed wind be used to power/ create electricity?

I'm from New York and those arent skyscrapers more like a apartments 😂😂😂

Wind engineering really what course is that.

just use (and extend) the PATH

They are called wind tunnels. It's brutal.

Can you please do a report about a total harm and insanity that beepers of many construction trucks/machinery/equipment/etc causing when these move (especially backwards)? Like no joke I live in downtown core and I have 2 construction sites like for 2 years now where not only these start operating sometimes at 5.30am but also even work overnight too quite regularly as well as some weekends during night time as well. 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. Mind you, I made complaints to 411 and they absolutely do not care! They just bureaucratically reply [oh, it is not forever and only temporary] and [oh, but you live in downtown core and so you should realize that such inconveniences are unavoidable] and [oh, but it's good for jobs and economy]. Like, I mean I do agree with all of that but come on try to live like that yourself? Thus, I guess they are just waiting for someone to go nuts and then wild crazy in an insane retaliation as I have said above

How did they get fundings

So can we harness the wind power between the buildings?

Then block the wind.

Good more Marylin Munroe moments Lolllllll. 😂😂😂😂😂

Wind is a paid actor

Why do you only have subtitles on the guest? A little weird eh as you can hear every word he’s saying.

while in Philippine urggh there's no even cool wind, all I can feel is boiling wind

Yea like every city with big buildings

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.

Wind has left the chat.

Tower tax?

I don't care, I love skyscrapers.

that guy seems like attend some chinese accent class

I want to see a cheap to make at home air ram pump to compress air for free.

2:18 naruto run

Yes cbc go live underground

Doug Ford’s fault of course

We need wind tunnel in Bangladesh

It's called wind tunnels .... It doesn't make it worse.

I think the Cantonese are getting the final laugh on this one - plenty of people in the west are making fun of Hong Kong for planning its skyscrapers according to Feng Shui, but I bet all of those holes in the buildings and rounded angles prevent downwashing and the formation of powerful gusts of Wind like these ones... 😂😂😂

... duh. you really made a video on this cbc..

Stop building skyscrapers. It's not just the wind problem, there are many other problems.

quick naruto run

Anti-pollution wind

i make wind when i fart i could knock down a building

Welp. Tear them down.

so you had nothing better to do huh smh

I live in equator we have no freakin Wind bcus its centre of the earth..

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!

is human species have become so much superior tht now,complaining about wind! DO THANK OUR CREATOR FOR LETTING US ,COME OUTSIDE THE BLOODY JUNGLE!

Toronto must be freezing in the winter...

#firstworldproblems

I feel sorry for his students, I had to focus on what he's trying to say, hope he sees these comments and make improvements to his speech

Professor's wind explanation doesn't make sense.

just stop building skyscrapers

Toronto wind keep on getting stronger and stronger and more frequent I am totally opposed to skyscrapers they should built more boutique buildings which most people prefer. Why try to be a New York City , when it can never be

slow news day?

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.

Somalian towers

So typical, us Canadians complaining the wind...

Just get trudope to close his legs problem solved

Cbc....feeding the minds of the less intellectually inclined!!!

THIS IS IMPORTANT????????

Well, these buildings won’t be called skyscrapers in China. They are only considered as regular tall buildings.

They make skyscrapers but they don't have jobs in Canada.

Toronto.... yuck... why would you?

When you're so privileged that the biggest problem in your life is wind.

What the fk is that guy talking about? Can't even catch one word just listening to him .
