As part of the metropolitan government’s planning policy, plans were put forth to develop the city centres of municipalities surrounding the City of Toronto, which originated as rural townships rather than distinct urban settlements. Scarborough Civic Centre, which was built to house offices of Scarborough's municipal government, and Metropolitan Toronto, and the Scarborough Town Centre were built in the 1970s. The Toronto Transit Commission's Scarborough RT line was completed in 1985.
