Do Canadian cities have a distinctive form? How has this form evolved over time; and what has been the impact of growth, transportation changes and differing lifestyles on the contemporary Canadian urban environment? The research summarized in the present volume is directed at these kinds of questions. This book is an anthology of research papers and reports building around a common theme: urban development in Central Canada. Within this context, specific interests focus on the spatial structure of the city, land use distributions, patterns of population density and intercity migration, networks of interaction, communities, and lives. This collection of papers will be of interest as a general reference which is not just descriptive, but one which includes a range of examples of analytical approaches. As such it is also designed as a contribution to the growing literature on urban research and policy formulation in Canada.(University of Toronto Department of Geography Research Publications 12)

Urban problems are now a dominant social issue: the essays in this volume consider the direction some of these problems may take in Central Canada. Three broad themes are discussed: forecasting (a spectrum of methodologies and urban forecasts); assessing the consequences of these forecasts at two levels (the growth of cities as an urban system and the growth and form of individual cities or urban regions); and assessing the role of changes in public policy. Specific topics include forecasting methodology in a spatial context, population and employment growth, migration, transportation, innovations, communication linkages, regional economic structure, economic fluctuations, the effects of public policy controls within a system of cities, land use and redevelopment, household mobility and social change, the spread of urban fields, and communities and neighbourhoods within cities.

Each year in North America one family in five moves to a new home, and in the process the environment is altered. The complex relationships between individual households and the aggregate social structure, and the effect of relocation on the urban environment, are examined in this study of household movement patterns within Metropolitan Toronto. Although assumptions about household relocation are implicit or explicit in every model of urban development, it has been difficult to verify these statements or to explore the relocation process. In simple language Professor Simmons poses some vital questions and then answers many of them through adroit analysis of the data. He describes the basic spatial patterns of movement and the variations of those patterns for a full range of household types. Three other concerns are also investigated: the problems of analysis and presentation of flow data; the temporal evolution of the housing market and the residential pattern; and the possibilities and nature of social change.
