Toronto authorities gave a provisional green light on Oct 31 to plans by a tech company in the Google empire to build a futuristic neighbourhood on a strip of lakefront that will include robots for delivering mail and collecting garbage.

Sidewalk Labs, a subsidiary of Google's parent Alphabet, has proposed building a carbon-neutral community "from the Internet up", where tall buildings would be made of timber and technology would be geared to catering to every aspect of modern living.
