Over time pockets of industrial land mostly followed rail lines and later highway corridors as the city grew outwards This trend continues to this day the largest factories and distribution warehouses are in the suburban environs of Peel and York Regions; but also within the current city: Etobicoke (concentrated around Pearson Airport) North York and Scarborough The West Don Lands is one of many former industrial sites in the downtown area that has undergone redevelopment Many of Toronto's former industrial sites close to (or in) Downtown have been redeveloped including parts of the Toronto waterfront the rail yards west of downtown and Liberty Village the Massey-Harris district and large-scale development is underway in the West Don Lands the Gooderham & Worts Distillery produced spirits until 1990 and is preserved today as the "Distillery District," the largest and best-preserved collection of Victorian industrial architecture in North America.

Formerly a marsh that was filled in to create industrial space it was never intensely developed its land unsuitable for large-scale development because of flooding and unstable soil it still contains numerous industrial uses such as the Portlands Energy Centre power plant some port facilities some movie and TV production studios a concrete processing facility and various low-density industrial facilities the Waterfront Toronto agency has developed plans for a naturalized mouth to the Don River and to create a flood barrier around the Don making more of the land on the harbour suitable for higher-value residential and commercial development a former chemicals plant site along the Don River is slated to become a large commercial complex and transportation hub Public spaces. . .
