The Canadian City Gerecke, Kent Publisher:  Black Rose Books, Montreal, Canada Year Published:  1991   Pages:  268pp   ISBN:  0-921689-92-6 Library of Congress Number:  HT127.C335 1991   Dewey:  307.760971 Resource Type:  Book Abstract:  This series of articles on the changing Canadian city with contributors such as Hans Blumenfeld, Carolyn Whitzman, John Sewell and activists in Winnipeg's Green Movement, is drawn from the Winnipeg-based City Magazine, the only Canadian magazine on urban thought. The Canadian City begins with a critical look at urban public policy and its strong connection to capitalist development and the needs of developers. Alternatively, ethical and ecological urban planning would address the needs of citizens and the alienation present in cities. Using case examples of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall and Toronto's St. Jamestown, The Canadian City emphasizes community involvement in urban design and a community economic development model. In protecting the environment and well-being necessary for survival, <169>green cities<170> arise out of a clear analysis of our underlying assumptions and embody humane urban policies and planning. Empowerment of citizens would replace their domination by experts. Each of the six parts has an introductory summary of the section's contents and three articles. Topics Architecture Canada Capitalism Cities Class Conflict/Class Struggle Communities/Cities Community Economic Development Culture Empowerment Geography Housing Identity Income Disparities Land Development Middle Class Public Policy Public Space Public Transit Social Welfare Standard of Living Urban Urban Environment Urban Planning Urbanization
