About the Author
JOHN SEWELL served as an alderman on Toronto City Council during the 1970s and was mayor of Toronto from 1978 to 1980. He chaired the Metro Toronto Housing Authority from 1986 to 1988 and the Commission on Planning and Development Reform in Ontario from 1991 to 1993. Sewell wrote an urban affairs column for The Globe and Mail from 1984 to 1986, currently writes for Now, a Toronto weekly, and is the author of Up Against City Hall, Police: Urban Policing in Canada, and the recently published The Shape of the City: Toronto Struggles with Modern Planning.
Review
"Sewell does an excellent job of covering the bases... a thoughtful analysis... a sourcebook on the issues and programs dealing with Canadian housing." (E.P. Fowler Literary Review of Canada)
"A balanced account of housing programs and legislation from across Canada... a comprehensive review and assessment of some of the important housing issues facing Canadians today." (Christine Hughes Canadian Book Review)
"A solid and interesting book on a subject that in other hands might have been too large or too complex to handle.
His examination of the problem of homelessness is poignant and revealing." (Terry Kruger Compass)
"Sewell has provided us with a well-researched and well-written primer on the Canadian urban condition. In these "greening" times, society is ecoming increasingly concerned with the need for nuturing nature. This book is an appropriate reminder of the need for forward-looking planning of that most immediate environmental envelope that surrounds us all: the domestic ecology bounded by walls and roofs, and the social ecology produced by the invisible bonds of neighbourhood and community" (Brian Osborne Canadian Geographic)
