Items related to Urban and Regional Planning in Canada
Synopsis
Originally published in 1987, this book presents a wide-ranging review of urban, regional, economic, and environmental planning in Canada. A comprehensive source of information on Canadian planning policies, it addresses the wide variations between Canadian provinces. While acknowledging similarities with programs and policies in the United States and Britain, the author documents the distinctively Canadian character of planning in Canada.
Among the topics addressed in the book are: the agencies of planning; on the nature of urban plans; the instruments of planning; land policies; natural resources; regional planning at the federal level; regional planning and development in Ontario; regional planning in other provinces; environmental protection; planning and people; and reflections on the nature of planning in Canada.
The author documents how governmental agencies handle problems of population growth, urban development, exploitation of natural resources, regional disparities, and many other issues that fall within the scope of urban and regional planning. But he goes beyond this to address matters of politics, law, economics, social organization. The book is pragmatic, eclectic, interpretive, and critical. It is a valuable contribution to international literature on planning in its political context.

Review
“A synoptic view of urban and regional practices across Canada. . . . The diversity of this topic is given not only by the objective regional differences over considerable geographic space, but also by the fact that Canadian planning has its roots in both Britain and the United States. . . . Provides a comprehensive assemblage of the important relationships between Canadian urban planning and the town and city planning traditions of Britain and the United States. . . . A valuable book on Canadian planning practice.”
—Abraham Akkerman, The Canadian Journal of Sociology
“Policies in the Housing field that we now take for granted owe much to Cullingworth’s early work.”
—Town and Country Planning
