Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policies forged by all levels of government affect the lives of urban residents. Contributors to this volume explore how intergovernmental relations shape urban policies and how various social forces are involved in - or excluded from - the policy process. Focusing on diverse policy fields including emergency planning, image-building, immigrant settlement, infrastructure, federal property, and urban Aboriginal policy, Sites of Governance presents detailed studies of the largest city in each of Canada's provinces. Drawing on extensive documentary research and hundreds of interviews, contributors offer rich, nuanced analyses and a wealth of policy cases, ranging from preparation for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics to the development of innovative immigrant settlement programming in Winnipeg. Dominant themes include the importance of resources and formal jurisdiction in multilevel policy making, and the struggle for influence between business interests and other social forces. Essential reading for anyone concerned with the quality of urban life in Canada, Sites of Governance offers important insights about how multilevel governance works in Canadian cities. Contributors include Laurence Bherer (Université de Montréal), David Bulger (University of Prince Edward Island), Christopher Dunn (Memorial University), Robert Finbow (Dalhousie University), Joseph Garcea (University of Saskatchewan), Pierre Hamel (Université de Montréal), Martin Horak (University of Western Ontario), Thomas Hutton (University of British Columbia), Christopher Leo (University of Winnipeg), Greg Marquis (University of New Brunswick , Saint John), Byron Miller (University of Calgary), Cecily Pantin (Memorial University), Alan Smart (University of Calgary), Donald Story (University of Saskatchewan), and Robert Young (University of Western Ontario).

This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Housing insecurity, intensified employment anxiety, access to adequate services, and fear of personal and structural violence are some of the issues troubling today’s cities and municipalities. Often, these conditions most affect residents whose place in the social hierarchy makes them particularly susceptible to exclusion. Seeking to redress these trends and guide research to facilitate meaningful local action, Toward Equity and Inclusion in Canadian Cities promotes more inclusive urban environments by highlighting and comparing theoretical and practice-based insights. Building on feminist, anti-racist, and anti-colonialist arguments to offer action-oriented solutions to inequalities and exclusions, the contributors to this volume tackle themes such as LGBTQ inclusion, health disparities, diversity initiatives, and urban planning dilemmas. Through a lens of critical praxis the book explores the challenges of collaborations, the negotiations required to reconceptualize research relations, and the ways in which values and practices inform one another. In light of the growing complexity, interrelations, and interactions of our world, Toward Equity and Inclusion in Canadian Cities is a timely work that speaks to a diverse audience of activists, policy makers, community organizations, and researchers of various disciplines.

Book excerpt: Reports on the findings of a joint research project that focused on Aboriginal governance in urban settings and the challenge of engaging youth. The project involved literature reviews, legal policy analysis, program & service documentation, best practices surveys, and ten focus circles with Aboriginal groups. The introduction sets the context for the project, discusses four lines of debate regarding Aboriginal urban self-government, and reviews the rest of the report. Part II sets out two broad normative frameworks for examining proposals for urban self-government in order to explore key issues involved in considering various governance options. Part II subjects basic models advanced to date for urban governance to a three-step assessment. It first reviews self-government models commonly suggested in the two dominant normative frameworks of Aboriginal rights law and democratic liberalism. It then draws on field research to assess issues of practicality in relation to urban governance. Finally, the report reviews the perceptions of urban Aboriginal people themselves, and particularly the youth that participated in the focus circles, as to their own sense of priorities and preferences for the nature and form that urban governance should take. Appendices include an annotated bibliography, responses to a survey of urban youth programs, and focus circle results.

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: Over the next 20 years, most low-income countries will, for the first time, become more urban than rural. Understanding demographic trends in the cities of the developing world is critical to those countries - their societies, economies, and environments. The benefits from urbanization cannot be overlooked, but the speed and sheer scale of this transformation presents many challenges. In this uniquely thorough and authoritative volume, 16 of the world's leading scholars on urban population and development have worked together to produce the most comprehensive and detailed analysis of the changes taking place in cities and their implications and impacts. They focus on population dynamics, social and economic differentiation, fertility and reproductive health, mortality and morbidity, labor force, and urban governance. As many national governments decentralize and devolve their functions, the nature of urban management and governance is undergoing fundamental transformation, with programs in poverty alleviation, health, education, and public services increasingly being deposited in the hands of untested municipal and regional governments. Cities Transformed identifies a new class of policy maker emerging to take up the growing responsibilities. Drawing from a wide variety of data sources, many of them previously inaccessible, this essential text will become the benchmark for all involved in city-level research, policy, planning, and investment decisions. The National Research Council is a private, non-profit institution based in Washington, DC, providing services to the US government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The editors are members of the Council's Panel on Urban Population Dynamics.
Download or read book Canada in Cities written by Caroline Andrew and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2014-11 with total page 305 pages. 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.
