Book Synopsis The Form of Cities in Central Canada by : Larry S. Bourne
Download or read book The Form of Cities in Central Canada written by Larry S. Bourne and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1973-12-15 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do Canadian cities have a distinctive form? How has this form evolved over time; and what has been the impact of growth, transportation changes and differing lifestyles on the contemporary Canadian urban environment? The research summarized in the present volume is directed at these kinds of questions. This book is an anthology of research papers and reports building around a common theme: urban development in Central Canada. Within this context, specific interests focus on the spatial structure of the city, land use distributions, patterns of population density and intercity migration, networks of interaction, communities, and lives. This collection of papers will be of interest as a general reference which is not just descriptive, but one which includes a range of examples of analytical approaches. As such it is also designed as a contribution to the growing literature on urban research and policy formulation in Canada. (University of Toronto Department of Geography Research Publications 12)

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 2006 with total page 552 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 Urban Futures for Central Canada by : Larry S. Bourne
Download or read book Urban Futures for Central Canada written by Larry S. Bourne and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1974-12-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban problems are now a dominant social issue: the essays in this volume consider the direction some of these problems may take in Central Canada. Three broad themes are discussed: forecasting (a spectrum of methodologies and urban forecasts); assessing the consequences of these forecasts at two levels (the growth of cities as an urban system and the growth and form of individual cities or urban regions); and assessing the role of changes in public policy. Specific topics include forecasting methodology in a spatial context, population and employment growth, migration, transportation, innovations, communication linkages, regional economic structure, economic fluctuations, the effects of public policy controls within a system of cities, land use and redevelopment, household mobility and social change, the spread of urban fields, and communities and neighbourhoods within cities.

Book Synopsis Revitalizing the City by : Fritz W. Wagner
Download or read book Revitalizing the City written by Fritz W. Wagner and published by M.E. Sharpe. This book was released on 2005-02-18 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical work demonstrates that controlling urban growth and reviving central city economies are not mutually exclusive endeavors. Rather than re-hash theories of urban development, the contributors describe and evaluate successful community-tested approaches to sustaining our cities. Revitalizing the City provides actual case examples of urban success stories - ranging from San Diego's "smart growth" initiative to brownfield redevelopment in Pittsburgh. The book is divided into four major sections - Urban Growth; Metropolitan Development and Administration; Central City Redevelopment Strategies; and Central City-Suburban Cooperation. Each chapter includes an analysis of key issues, descriptions of specific local initiatives, highlights of effective policies or programs, and potential pitfalls to avoid. Revitalizing the City has broad appeal for the urban policy community as well as for undergraduate and graduate courses in urban sociology, geography, political science, and urban studies and planning.

Book excerpt: Canadian Cities in Transition brings together newly commissioned articles in order to provide a detailed overview of recent trends affecting Canadian cities, and future policy implications these trends will have on Canadian cities. Aimed at students studying urban geography, and focusing specifically on the Canadian city, it provides the most current research available. Divided into five sections--national perspectives, regional perspectives, intra-urban perspectives, urban functions, and social issues and the public sector--the book covers a wide range of subjects. Starting with the Canadian city in the global context, and urbanization in historical perspective, it concludes with an examination of issues such as the inner city, housing, the urban retail landscape, and planning and development.The second edition is a significant revision from the first, with numerous new articles, new contributors, and a much more closely linked editorial structure. The new second edition includes more emphasis on planning, on the environment, and on urban design, as well as more information on the contemporary social and economic transformations which are affecting society as a whole and echoed in cities.
