Building Suburbia
In the 1930s, Ontario built the first intercity-divided highway in North America. Harold Ship revolutionized suburban development in Toronto in the 1950s and transformed what is now known today as Mississauga with innovative developments!
Today's episode revolves around the history and significance of the joining of neighbourhoods in Clarkson and Lauren Park, Marigold Crescent and Applewood Acres. We explore the visions of the minds who lead the development of Mississauga, highlighting the entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to shaping the city's future. We also discuss the rapid growth of the city fuelled by the opening of Square One shopping mall in 1973 and see how suburbia was birthed.
