Scarborough City Centre is the city centre and central business district for Scarborough, a district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada since amalgamation in 1998. It is roughly bounded by Kennedy Road to the west, Markham Road to the east, Ellesmere Road to the south, and Sheppard Avenue to the North. At its core is the Scarborough Civic Centre (including Albert Campbell Square), Scarborough Town Centre, the Canada Centre (Government of Canada), the Scarborough Centre rapid transit station, and the Scarborough Centre Bus Terminal.
Condominium towers surround these central buildings and public spaces, forming the city centre's skyline. The major office towers in the area are those at Consilium Place, which was completed in 1991. In a band around the southern side of the city centre are densely forested parklands, between Borough Drive and Ellesmere Road. Outside the immediate city centre is mostly industrial parks and low-density housing.
Prior to the 1940s, the area was mainly agricultural and the closest communities were Agincourt and Malvern.
Development came when Ontario Highway 401 was built and brought in industry into the area.
