Book excerpt: 2015 Speaker's Book Award — Shortlisted City planning in the GTHA has been mired in political grandstanding for the past decade, The New Urban Agenda offers a plain language solution to the issues plaguing the GTHA. Politics in the Greater Toronto, Hamilton Area (GTHA) have become increasingly divisive over the past decade, and solutions to the city’s problems have become hot-topic issues debated in council and the press, but never finding resolution.The New Urban Agenda is equal parts history, social science, and call to action to solve the major problems facing the GTHA. Issues such as urban and suburban development, transit, the region’s environmental impact, affordable housing, and the seemingly inherent gridlock of municipal politics are all discussed. Award-winning author Bill Freeman offers a level-headed approach to the problems and lays out an agenda that will lead to an improvement in the quality of life in our neighbourhoods and downtowns and make our cities more economically viable. He encourages individuals and communities to speak up for themselves and get involved in politics at a grassroots level. With no shortage of examples, he shows how this strategy can create the change that is needed to move cities forward in a way that benefits everyone, not just the business and political elite.

Book excerpt: Given the evident complexities of urban policy-making in the Canadian Whither the Federal Urban Agenda? [...] The research underpinning the new localism makes three central claims: first, that cities are the engines of national economies; second, that cities are also the places with the most concentrated poverty and forms of socio-spatial polarization; and third, that with economic and social issues of such national consequence playing out in cities, upper level governments must bring an "urban lens" to t [...] For each of the explicit and implicit approaches, EURICUR identifies the vision animating the policy and the main instruments for implementation. [...] The Cities Secretariat became part of a new Ministry of State for Infrastructure and Communities to translate the vision into action and drive implementation of the New Deal's measures. [...] Such place-based collaboratives were integral to the federal homelessness program, the Action for Neighbourhood Change, the Vancouver Agreement and the Winnipeg Development Agreements, and the Integrated Community Sustainability Plans (Torjman, 2006).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book utilises comparative diachronic and synchronic analyses to investigate models of national urban agendas. Encompassing cases from Europe, North America, South America and Asia, it examines the changing global geography of national urban agendas since the second post-war period. The book demonstrates that whilst some discontinuities and differences exist between countries, they each demonstrate a common systematic investment in urban policies, that are considered as programmes of intervention and funding schemes for cities. Furthermore, in such programmes a political vision is evident which recognizes an important role for cities and urbanization processes at a national level. The book will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, urban planning and public administration, as well as practitioners and policymakers at the national and local levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for an ambitious and forward-looking Canadian international strategy has never been greater. The worldwide changes that jeopardize Canadian security and prosperity are profound, ranging from the globalization of commerce, crime, and political extremism to the impact of climate change on the economy and environment. The reaction from Canada’s policymakers, at least so far, has been underwhelming. In The World Won’t Wait, some of Canada’s brightest thinkers respond. Covering both classic foreign policy issues such as international security, human rights, and global institutions and emerging issues like internet governance, climate change, and sustainable development, their essays offer fresh and provocative responses to today’s challenges and opportunities. The proposals are striking and the contributors diverse: Toronto’s chief city planner makes the case that Canada needs a global urban agenda, while a prominent mining executive explains how to revitalize the country’s position as a world leader in the sector. Their essays are sure to spark the kind of debate that Canada requires if its international policy is to evolve into the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government and its policies transform Canadian cities in myriad ways. Canada in Cities examines this relationship to better understand the interplay among changing demographics, how local governments and citizens frame their arguments for federal action, and the ways in which the national government uses its power and resources to shape urban Canada. Most studies of local governance in Canada focus on politics and policy within cities. The essays in this collection turn such analysis on its head, by examining federal programs, rather than municipal ones, and observing how they influence local policies and work with regional authorities and civil societies. Through a series of case studies - ranging from federal policy concerning Aboriginal people in cities, to the introduction of the federal gas tax transfer to municipalities, to the impact of Canada's emergency management policies on cities - the contributors provide insights about how federal politics influence the local political arena. Analyzing federal actions in diverse policy fields, the authors uncover meaningful patterns of federal action and outcome in Canadian cities. A timely contribution, Canada in Cities offers a comprehensive study of diverse areas of municipal public policy that have emerged in Canada in recent years.

Download or read book Why Cities Matter written by Neil John Bradford and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the research was to assess existing knowledge of the ways cities matter in an era of globalization, identify common themes from the literature and existing policy networks and propose future directions for policy research and action at the community as well as the regional and national levels. Contrary to predictions of the "locationless" effects of virtual communications and the "death of distance", urban centres have become more - not less - important as places where people live, work and play. Yet, experience shows that cities can be both engines of national prosperity and locales where the risks of social exclusion and environmental degradation exist. Better understanding is required of the factors that will sustain vibrant Canadian cities and healthy communities in a global age. This project examined these issues in the literature, through existing policy and networks and through a roundtable. The first part of the paper traces the complex economic, social and political transformations that have put Canadian cities back on the agenda of policy communities. Choices must be made about how our urban spaces will be managed, whether investments will be made in human resources and physical infrastructure of cities and what new fiscal tools and financing mechanisms will be available to municipalities. The second part of the paper provides historical perspective on these challenges and choices and shows that the present day is not the first time that such fundamental questions have surfaced about cities and their role in national life. The third part of the paper maps four distinctive frameworks for mobilizing and advancing strategies to regenerate Canadian cities. These are: economic cluster; social inclusion; community economic development; and environmental sustainability. The major political challenge is to bring these respective advocacy networks together into a workable policy mix. The fourth part of the paper addresses the possibilities for progress, connecting a vision of community-based regionalism to the fundamental questions of urban governance. Given the increasingly important role of cities in shaping the country's economic, social and environmental well-being, Canada's new urban agenda must better align federal, provincial and municipal policies with the physical design and community planning of the country's diverse city-regions.

Book excerpt: Urban Sociology in Canada, Second Edition introduces the fundamentals of the theoretical structure of Canadian urban studies. The book is comprised of 11 chapters that are organized into six parts. The text provides census data of various Canadian cities along with urban empirical studies to help illustrate the generalization and concepts. The book first covers the classical foundations of urban sociology, and then proceeds to discussing the growth of urban system. The third part talks about the process of entrance to the urban system, while the fourth part deals with the spatial shape of the urban system. The last two parts tackle urbanism and the regulation of urban system, respectively. The book will be of great use to social scientists who involve urban population as the main demographics of their research study.
