What happened to the environment when the CN Tower was built?

The construction of the CN Tower in Toronto, completed in 1976, had several environmental impacts. The project involved significant land alteration and the removal of vegetation, which disrupted local ecosystems and wildlife habitats. Additionally, the construction increased urbanization in the area, contributing to changes in land use and potential pollution from construction activities. However, the tower also spurred the development of public spaces and green areas around it, aiming to balance urban growth with environmental considerations.
