This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consequently, State and provincial governments in the US and Canada have enacted a plethora of new planning legislation, amendments to existing statutes, regulations and policies purported to provide more direction and order to growth and changes in land use and to better protect natural environments, environmental quality and heritage parks and farm lands from conversion and degradation. [...] Key participants and stakeholders concerned with land use issues and markets and the economic incentive structures facing them are enumerated and discussed in Chapter 3. The "Development Industry" consists of firms and businesses directly involved in assembling and preparing lands for development projects as well as the construction of residential and non-residential structures and the suppliers o [...] Issues, data and information surrounding the financing of municipal infrastructure and service costs of growth and urbanization are presented in Chapter 6. In particular, the degree to which builders and owners of new residential and commercial properties pay their fair share of the costs of municipal infrastructure and other services is assessed to the extent permitted by available data. [...] Although 11 the losses of agricultural land to urban uses in Ontario and elsewhere appear to be small, in some regions such as the lands around Toronto and in the Niagara peninsula, loss of urbanization of agricultural land reduces the supply of land for specialty crops such as grapes and soft fruits. [...] However, these new laws and updates to the Provincial Policy Statement on land uses have incorporated special provisions, exemptions and technical language that protect the interests and incomes of the largest developers and their closest allies and allows for the perpetuation of sprawl development patterns.

Download or read book Economic Analysis of Provincial Land Use Policies in Ontario written by Mark w. Frankena and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1980-12-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and analyses the provincial government's role in municipal and regional planning. The conversion of farmland to urban and other uses is discussed, as are the issues raised by the reports of the Ontario Planning Act Review Committee and the Federal/Provincial Task Force on the Supply and Price of Serviced Residential Land and the province's Green Paper on Planning for Agriculture. The authors criticize the government's failure to conduct cost-benefit studies before setting up planning programs and show that there is little factual basis for recent alarm over the disappearance of farmland. Data gathered here for the first time show that the conversion of agricultural land to built-up urban use and non-farm rural residential use in Ontario has been taking place quite slowly in view of the rate of productivity increase in agriculture, the stock of agricultural land, and the decline in the acreage of census farms. Economists will find in this book a useful survey of recent trends and policies. Planners, policy-makers, and students will welcome this detailed case study of how economic analysis ought to be used in formulating land use policies.
Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Suburban Infrastructures written by Pierre Filion and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most new urban growth takes place in the suburbs; consequently, infrastructures are in a constant state of playing catch-up, creating repeated infrastructure crises in these peripheries. However, the push to address the tensions stemming from this rapid growth also allow the suburbs to be a major source of urban innovation. Taking a critical social science perspective to identify political, economic, social, and environmental issues related to suburban infrastructures, this book highlights the similarities and differences between suburban infrastructure conditions encountered in the Global North and Global South. Adopting an international approach grounded in case studies from three continents, this book discusses infrastructure issues within different suburban and societal contexts: low-density infrastructure-rich Global North suburban areas, rapidly developing Chinese suburbs, and the deeply socially stratified suburbs of poor Global South countries. Despite stark differences between types of suburbs, there are features common to all suburban areas irrespective of their location, and similarities in the infrastructure issues confronting these different categories of suburbs.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper examines the reasons for, and the effects of, the rate ofconsumption of good agricultural land by urban development in the economicheartland between Windsor and Quebec City. While population growth ratesare falling, the rate of expansion of urban areas continues to increase, but more slowly than in the recent past. The heartland is contracting tocentral and southwestern Ontario, where the loss of agricultural land isincreasingly pronounced. The paper predicts that more than one million haof Canada's best agricultural land will be consumed by urban developmentbetween 1970 and 2001. It proposes specific improvements to the currentmethods of monitoring land use and a model for a more prudent operation ofthe land market.

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.
