01 · OverviewMississauga, in brief
Mississauga is a city in Peel Region, Ontario, Canada, situated on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. With a population of 717,961 as of 2021, it ranks as the seventh-most populous municipality in Canada, the third largest city in Ontario, and the second-most populous in the Greater Toronto Area.
How Did Mississauga Form Its Present-Day Economy?
The urban economy and municipal growth of Mississauga are closely tied to its strategic location and diverse infrastructure. While initial growth stemmed from its proximity to Toronto, the city subsequently developed its own transit-oriented central business district known as Mississauga City Centre. Within the northeast end of the city, the Malton neighbourhood hosts Toronto Pearson International Airport—Canada's busiest airport—alongside the corporate headquarters of numerous Canadian and multinational enterprises. Rather than evolving from a single traditional urban core, the city was formed through the amalgamation of three former Ontario villages and two townships containing various rural hamlets, which coalesced into a unified urban area during its 1968 establishment as a town and subsequent 1974 reincorporation as a city within the Regional Municipality of Peel.
What Characterizes the Modern Population and Urban Scale?
The city covers a land area of 292.74 square kilometers, yielding a population density of 2,452.6 people per square kilometer based on the 2021 census. During the latter half of the 20th century, Mississauga attracted a diverse and multicultural population. In terms of linguistic distribution, English serves as the mother tongue for 44.9 percent of residents, followed by languages such as Urdu, Arabic, Mandarin, Polish, and Punjabi. Economically active sectors across the municipality are supported by transportation networks linking the city eastward to Toronto, northward to Brampton, northwestward to Milton, and southwestward to Oakville.
