Mississauga, Urban municipality in Ontario, Canada.

Mississauga stretches along the western shore of Lake Ontario and includes a downtown core with glass towers alongside wide residential areas. The city features numerous parks, green spaces, and bike paths that connect residential zones with commercial districts.

The area shifted during the 20th century from rural settlements to a rapidly growing urban region west of Toronto. City status was granted in 1974 after several smaller communities merged into a single municipality.

Residents from many parts of the world have shaped the character of the city through restaurants, grocery stores, and places of worship spread across the entire area. In neighborhoods like Port Credit and Streetsville, markets and street festivals bring together local traditions with international influences throughout the year.

The city sits on several highways that connect it to Toronto and other parts of Ontario, while Toronto Pearson International Airport lies within municipal boundaries. Public transit and buses serve most residential areas and the downtown core.

Square One Shopping Centre ranks among the largest malls in Canada and holds over 350 stores within the developing downtown area. The Waterfront Trail runs along the lakeshore and links small harbors, parks, and beach sections together.
