The City Hall of Toronto, Ontario, Canada is one of the most distinctive landmarks of the city. Designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell (with Heikki Castrén, Bengt Lundsten, Seppo Valjus), landscape architect Richard Strong, and engineered by Hannskarl Bandel, the building opened in 1965; its modernist architecture still impresses today. It was built to replace Old City Hall, which was built in 1899.

In popular culture:
In the 1980 film The Kidnapping of the President starring William Shatner and Hal Holbrook the city hall and Nathan Phillips Square provided the location for a protracted hostage scene. The city hall was seen in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Contagion" as one of the possible destinations of an alien portal. In the 2002 film The Tuxedo, the city hall was playing the role of "CSA Headquarters". In the 2004 film Resident Evil: Apocalypse, the building portrayed the City Hall in Raccoon City. It was destroyed by a neutron bomb blowing up over the building. In the 2006 film The Sentinel, an assassination attempt takes place at a Group of Eight summit meeting in Toronto's city hall. In the 2007 novel "Consolation" by Michael Redhill, Toronto's City Hall is described as an ice cream cone with a tumor in between. The Devon Corporation headquarters in the popular Pokémon anime franchise bears a striking resemblance to Toronto's city Hall.

Eigenartiges, merkwuerdiges Motiv, aber eines der Wahrzeichen unserer Stadt! - war schon in mehreren Hollywoodfilmen zu sehen.
