Last night I went my friends condo out in the north western part of the Toronto suburb of Mississauga. The area my friend lives in is called Erin Mills.
Erin Mills was orginically started in the 1970's as a master planned suburban new town. The centre of the community has a shopping mall, with housing surrounding it, and then industry.
Newer housing has joined the older neighbourhoods.
Almost all the housing you will see in these photos is newer.
This area is about 40 minutes north west of downtown Toronto.
The view from my friends condo, looking towards downtown Toronto.
Erin Mills Town Centre, the centre of the area. All basic stores can be found here. As well as express bus stop, that will get you downtown in about 45 minutes.
Newer housing. Is this sprawl??????? You decide.
The large buildings in the background are the dreaded Meadowvale Business Park, which is home to almost 30,000 workers. This is the famous business park which is responsible for thousands of jobs being lost in downtown Toronto, and transferred to Meadowvale. The two blue glass buildings are the Royal Bank of Canada office buildings. Royal Bank moved thousands of workers out of downtown into these buildings.
