Windsor is a major city in southwestern Ontario located along the Detroit River directly across from Detroit in the United States. Its international border location has made Windsor one of Canada’s most important transportation and manufacturing centres, particularly in the automotive industry.
The city developed rapidly during the twentieth century as automobile manufacturing expanded across the region. Major automotive plants and related industries established Windsor as a key industrial hub within the North American automotive supply chain.
Windsor’s riverfront parks provide views of the Detroit skyline and form a central recreational space within the city. Today Windsor remains an important centre for manufacturing, international trade and cross-border transportation between Canada and the United States.
