Book Synopsis Measuring and Monitoring Urban Sprawl in Canada from 1991 to 2011 by : Mehrdokht Pourali Rahdari

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban population growth and the expansion of urban areas has resulted in numerous negative environmental impacts. In Canada, built-up areas increased by more than 150% between 1971 and 2011, significantly faster than the number of inhabitants. Much of this increase took the form of dispersed, low-density urban development commonly referred to as urban sprawl. However, serious attempts to rigorously quantify and compare urban sprawl across Canada are lacking. This thesis measures the degree of sprawl for all 34 Canadian Census Metropolitan area (CMA) and the 469 Census Subdivisions (CSD) located within the boundaries of the CMAs and assesses temporal changes in urban sprawl between 1991 and 2011. This thesis uses the metrics of Weighted Urban Proliferation (WUP) and Weighted Sprawl per Capita (WSPC) to quantitatively assess the degree of urban sprawl. The value of WUP answers the question of how strongly the landscape within each reporting unit is sprawled per km2. WSPC quantifies the amount that, on average, each inhabitant or workplace contributes to urban sprawl in a reporting unit. The results demonstrate that urban sprawl increased considerably in all CMAs between 1991 and 2011. Montreal scored highest in 2011 among the CMAs (18.24 UPU/m2), followed by Victoria (17.93 UPU/m2), Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo (17.70 UPU/m2), Vancouver (17.24 UPU/m2), and Toronto (16.75 UPU/m2). Between 1991 and 2011, the Victoria CMA experienced the highest increase in WUP among all the CMAs. In the first decade between 1991 and 2001, urban sprawl increased in all CMAs. CMAs also showed a clear, continuous increase in urban sprawl in the second decade (2001-2011), except for Guelph and Ottawa-Gatineau-ON, where it decreased. WSPC also increased in more than half (59%) of the CMAs between 1991 and 2011. Saint John CMA (NB) obtained the highest value in 2011, followed by Thunder Bay and Greater Sudbury. The lowest WSPC values were observed in Toronto, due to the lowest land uptake per inhabitant or job, followed by Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary. The period 1991-2001 witnessed an increase in WSPC in most of the CMAs (76%). In contrast, the value of WSPC decreased from 2001 to 2011 in most (76%) of the CMAs. The results presented here are especially useful for environmental monitoring and sustainability monitoring and to guide future planning seeking to reduce urban sprawl and its negative impacts. Although some sustainable development policies and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) plans have been established to control urban sprawl in several cities (e.g., Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal), progress towards controlling urban sprawl in the Canadian CMAs overall has been weak and sprawl continues to be a major threat to sustainable land use in Canada. Increased efforts are needed to more consistently and more effectively monitor and control urban sprawl and to transition to more sustainable forms of development e.g., smart growth. The insights from this study are particularly relevant to urban, regional, and land-use planning, and to the planning of future transport infrastructure.

Book Synopsis Canadian Cities in Transition by : Trudi E. Bunting
Download or read book Canadian Cities in Transition written by Trudi E. Bunting and published by Don Mills, Ont. : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the federal government's recent 'New Deal for Cities' suggests, the importance of cities is now widely recognized. Large urban centres are seen at once as primary engines of the economy and as concentrations of societal problems: poverty, homelessness, criminality, environmental degradation. Calls are thus mounting not only for the allocation of more resources but for the adoption of new policies, grounded in urban realities, that will enable Canadian cities to function more effectively. This third edition of Canadian Cities in Transition has been completely revised and updated. Examining the uneven development and uncertain future of Canadian cities, 41 specialists in the field-urban geographers, political scientists, urban planners, civil engineers-offer state-of-the-art understanding of everything from the evolution of the Canadian urban system to site-specific design, problems of transportation and infrastructure, the containment of urban sprawl, the impacts of immigration and gentrification, and the sustainability of cities-both environmentally and economically. The 27 chapters are supported by abundant illustrative material-maps, tables, figures, and photographs-and followed by two appendices, one discussing the changing nature of urban research and the other presenting essential data on Canada's census metropolitan areas. In addition, for the first time this new edition includes a comprehensive bibliography. Required reading for students of Canadian urban geography and urban studies, Canadian Cities in Transition: Local Through Global Perspectives will also be an invaluable resource for anyone concerned about the future of Canada's cities.

Book Synopsis Social Statistics and Ethnic Diversity by : Patrick Simon

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines the question of collecting and disseminating data on ethnicity and race in order to describe characteristics of ethnic and racial groups, identify factors of social and economic integration and implement policies to redress discrimination. It offers a global perspective on the issue by looking at race and ethnicity in a wide variety of historical, country-specific contexts, including Asia, Latin America, Europe, Oceania and North America. In addition, the book also includes analysis on the indigenous populations of the Americas. The book first offers comparative accounts of ethnic statistics. It compares and empirically tests two perspectives for understanding national ethnic enumeration practices in a global context based on national census questionnaires and population registration forms for over 200 countries between 1990 to 2006. Next, the book explores enumeration and identity politics with chapters that cover the debate on ethnic and racial statistics in France, ethnic and linguistic categories in Québec, Brazilian ethnoracial classification and affirmative action policies and the Hispanic/Latino identity and the United States census. The third, and final, part of the book examines measurement issues and competing claims. It explores such issues as the complexity of measuring diversity using Malaysia as an example, social inequalities and indigenous populations in Mexico and the demographic explosion of aboriginal populations in Canada from 1986 to 2006. Overall, the book sheds light on four main questions: should ethnic groups be counted, how should they be counted, who is and who is not counted and what are the political and economic incentives for counting. It will be of interest to all students of race, ethnicity, identity, and immigration. In addition, researchers as well as policymakers will find useful discussions and insights for a better understanding of the complexity of categorization and related political and policy challenges.

Book Synopsis Smart Growth and Sustainable Transport in Cities by : Amir Shakibamanesh
Download or read book Smart Growth and Sustainable Transport in Cities written by Amir Shakibamanesh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delves into the urban planning theory of “smart growth” to encourage the creation of smart cities, where compact urban spaces are optimized to create transit-oriented, pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly areas, with a clear focus on developing a sustainable, humanistic transport system. Over the last century, increased demographic changes and use of motor vehicles in the wake of “urbanization” led to the rapid expansion of cities, giving rise to economic, social and environmental problems. Sprawls and extension into natural areas caused a scattered urban context replete with empty spaces. This book provides an effective solution to this with an overview of the historical application of smart growth principles as a response to the issue of sprawling cityscapes, and sheds light on the theoretical information and methodologies used by cities to re-develop the urban landscape. It also encloses a checklist for practitioners and decision makers to inform the developmental process and integrate smart growth strategies into land use planning. This book effectively engages with the global problem of urban sprawl in cities and hence will be an asset to both urban planning professionals, and graduate and postgraduate students of urban studies and the related disciplines.
