I don't understand why the mall property hasn't urbanized, as the surrounding neighborhoods have exploded in population.
I think it's still more of a "destination mall" in the sense that people will travel from outside of Mississauga to shop there. It's no Eaton Centre that can easily be accessed through public transit, and I'm not sure it could survive without large parking lots yet.

Although, It has become one of the major hubs for GO transit buses in the region, and plans are to infill more and more of those parking lots as time goes on.
