Synopsis

A foundational look at Canada’s rural life, and the planning ideas that shaped its development.

This edition distills a comprehensive study of how land, people, and policy intersect across Canada’s countryside.

The book surveys rural population, land use, transportation, and the challenges of building healthy, productive communities. It combines analysis of current conditions with practical proposals for land settlement, planning legislation, and the management of rural life and industries. It also addresses the role of returned soldiers, public health, and government policy in shaping a more efficient and amenable countryside.

• Clear explanations of rural problems and the need for coordinated planning.
• Discussion of surveying methods, land division, roads, and water management.
• Proposals for protecting health, preventing wasteful development, and guiding settlement.
• Considerations of urban-rural links, and the influence of policy on land development.

Ideal for readers interested in early planning thought, Canadian history, and the foundations of rural development policy.
