I couldn't find any pictures online of the King Centre/King City Mall, but I did find a couple articles on the general topic of the Downtown redevelopment.

"The struggle for the centre: one city's adventure with modernity," by Nick Storring and, "Local Power and Its Limits: Three Decades of Attempts to Revitalize Kitchener's CBD," by Pierre Filion and Trudi Bunting.

The first is more philosphical and the latter is more academic including a short review of how downtown Kitchener's CBD ended up where it di.

Thanks for linking the articles! Fillion and Bunting were two of my favourite professors at UW. I can still hear Pierre's French Canadian accent in the back of my head discussing Andres Duany and New Urbanism.
