RETAIL LANDSCAPES

Retail landscapes have evolved over the course of the city's history, reflecting changing socio-economic conditions and incorporating new technologies. Originally, retailers clustered in the downtown core. As the city's population increased, retailers began to line the major streets leading away from the core, servicing the outlaying areas serviced by the streetcar lines. Planned shopping centres have come to dominate the modern retail landscape, eroding traditional retail districts. Shops are now woven throughout the urban fabric. Their sizes and shapes have dramatically changed, from the long and narrow Main Street emporia to today's 'big boxes'. Window shopping has been replaced by windshield shopping.
