Placemaking Webinar Series (2022)
Mississauga is a young city going through its own growing pains. 45 years ago it was little more than a collection of historic villages connected by agricultural fields, concession roads, and sprawling single detached homes. A bedroom community with little urban life or character. Today it has emerged as a successful city financially, but does it have a sense of place and soul?
