LONDON an Independent Downtown… LONDON an independent downtown… . Snap Shot of London A medium sized city in South-Western Ontario An economic base in transition from manufacturing to knowledge industries Two major educational institutions Three major hospital campuses A city with strong heritage features A growing downtown population “We find different solutions A progressive City Council that is and say…. ‘Well maybe we taking a long-term approach and is should try that.’” strongly committed to downtown revitalization London’s resurgent downtown is blessed with strong heritage features, contains the vast majority of the City’s office employment and has seen successive City Councils be a pioneering force in revitalization efforts. The City has also been highly progressive in tracking downtown performance and collecting data on a parcel level to help measure progress through its State of the Downtown Report. Yet, downtown London faces several challenges, such as the need for innovative methods to repurpose its heritage buildings, visible vacancies along its main shopping street, a perception of crime that deters some potential visitors, office vacancies, and few residents in the core. Downtown London continues to develop its own style, identity, and culture over a two decade period of of revitalization. 99 Downtown London Timeline 1840 - 2011 1840 - 1967 1840 – London incorporated as a town 1878 – University of Western 1853 – Railroad arrives in London, Ontario, now known simply as economic boom follows Western University, founded 1920 – Thomas Adams prepares the 1956 – Historic Market Hall is first official plan for the City of London demolished and replaced by market on first floor of parking structure 1958 – First major study focusing on downtown is prepared under the Federal Urban Renewal Program 1960 – Wellington Square opens downtown 1961 – City annexes 34 351 acres, growing from 8 019 acres to 42 550 1967 – City annexes 1 196 acres, population 162 184 acres to the East.

An extensive pathway system (50km long) extends from Ivey Park along the Thames in three directions, connecting downtown London with city neighbourhoods some 12km away from the downtown. 10 101 1 VISIBILITY Does the Downtown have an integral role in the life of the wider city? “(Downtown London) was hustling and bustling, then it declined, and now it’s come full circle… I like this side of the circle better.” London is a medium sized city in south-western Ontario, located in the Quebec City - Windsor Corridor. The downtown occupies only 0.2% the City’s expansive land area but accounts for a substantial portion of the City’s commercial office space, employment and tax base. The downtown provides unique cultural facilities and is the focal point of government functions, London’s transit system and entertainment in the City. Downtown London is currently rebounding from a downward spiral that began in the 1970s when suburban malls started to alter shopping habits and attract retailers and patrons away from the core. This decline arguably accelerated when a downtown mall (Galleria) was developed to rival these suburban malls, as it drew many of the remaining independent retailers off the main downtown streets. This mall folded and has since been Downtown comprises repurposed for offices and the Central Library but street level vacancies on Dundas Street continue to remain a major challenge for downtown London. 0.2% of London’s land area (99ha) The City is now making major inroads through revitalization. A key part of this success can be attributed to its strong employment base. Downtown London contains 80% of the City’s office space and over 30,000 jobs. This 1% concentration of office space resulted from the City introducing policies into of London’s population its Official Plan in the 1990s that direct all office spaces over 5,000sqm be lives downtown located downtown. The effectiveness of this policy has been paramount to reversing the fortunes of downtown London.
