Well, it seems that in most cities, airports are surrounded by industrial parks. And this area seems to be full of logistics companies, which are sure to be related towards the airport.
It may seem lifeless, but that's just aesthetically speaking. That big uninhabitable 100+ square kilometres of sprawly land area right there (due to aircraft noise) is Mississauga's (and probably Brampton's as well) primary economic engine, and one of Canada's biggest.
And oh, Atlanta and Detroit's metro areas are definitely scary-looking for the actual metropolitan population...
