The Evolution of Don Mills Shopping Centre

Written by Reurbanist // October 20, 2012 // Profiled Projects // 2 Comments

The Don Mills Shopping Centre in Toronto has evolved over the past fifty years from a strip centre, to an enclosed mall, and finally to an outdoor lifestyle centre. I spent a few hours at the Toronto Archives digging through historic aerial images to illustrate how the shopping centre has changed.
