Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last several years, we have been bombarded with news outlining the economic plight of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). We have recently been told that while Ontario and Canada are coming out of the recession, the GTA, our nation's engine, is still sputtering. The whole GTA community is asking questions and looking for solutions. Where have all the jobs gone? Who is addressing this insidious erosion of our economy? Why do we all have concerns, yet no feeling of what to do? This report answers these questions by presenting a speech on the economic forum on the future of the Greater Toronto Area on November 23 to 25, 1994.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extending a hundred miles across south-central Ontario, Toronto is the fifth largest metropolitan area in North America, with the highest population density and the busiest expressway. At its core old Toronto consists of walkable neighborhoods and a financial district deeply connected to the global economy. Newer parts of the region have downtown centers linked by networks of arterial roads and expressways, employment districts with most of the region's jobs, and ethnically diverse suburbs where English is a minority language. About half the population is foreign-born—the highest proportion in the developed world. Population growth because of immigration—almost three million in thirty years—shows few signs of abating, but recently implemented regional strategies aim to contain future urban expansion within a greenbelt and to accommodate growth by increasing densities in designated urban centers served by public transit. Toronto: Transformations in a City and Its Region traces the city's development from a British colonial outpost established in 1793 to the multicultural, polycentric metropolitan region of today. Though the original grid survey and much of the streetcar city created a century ago have endured, they have been supplemented by remarkable changes over the past fifty years in the context of economic and social globalization. Geographer Edward Relph's broad-stroke portrait of the urban region draws on the ideas of two renowned Torontonians—Jane Jacobs and Marshall McLuhan—to provide an interpretation of how its current forms and landscapes came to be as they are, the values they embody, and how they may change once again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greater Toronto Area occupies less than 1 per cent of Ontario's land base, and yet it houses more than 40 per cent of the province's people. The number of people living in the GTA has been increasing at a fast rate and is expected to increase substantially in the near future. The forecast is that it will reach 5.4 million by 2011, an increase of almost 50 per cent over the 1986 population. The area also contains two major physiographic features: the Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine. More than 21 per cent of the land base is forest-covered. It also houses a host of provincially rare plant and animal species and contains a number of provincially significant wetlands and natural areas. Therefore, in the GTA's plan for the future, a comprehensive look at the natural resources and attributes of the areas in light of the area's potential growth is required. This document offers options for securing greenlands.

Book excerpt: High Park, Scarborough Bluffs, the Humber Valley, the Port Lands. These are among the special places of Toronto. Each is a unique ecosystem within the busy urban region. Even though Torontonians think of the city as almost entirely built up, savannah or wetlands are only a subway ride away. Special Places explores the changing ecosystems of the Toronto area over this century, looking at the environmental conditions that influence the whole region and at the surprising range of plants and animals you can still find in many of its natural spaces.
