Mississauga Developments

Ok but the thing is these malls were not designed to be a walkable mixed use neighbourhood. They were piecemealed together over decades. Most of the malls on the list I described are basically knocking down the existing structure as we know it and rebuilding. Guess what a lot of them are going towards an open air concept, with covered awnings.  

The best mixed-use neighbourhoods were “piecemealed” together over decades or even centuries. Malls by contrast are typically built all at once and then occasionally extended somewhat. So I’m not really sure what you’re getting at.

Yes, I’m aware a lot of malls are getting knocked down and replaced with unprotected spaces.

I keep trying to ask but nobody seems to be able to answer how ripping the roof off the mall and letting cars drive down some of its corridors makes it a better shopping experience.
