Toronto's City Centre Airport by Andrew Farncombe,Canadian Urban Institute Pdf

Presents the proceedings of a conference on the future of Toronto City Centre Airport. The first session explored the current situation and issues of concern such as airport governance, noise, emissions, safety, economic viability, access, and the possibility that jets could be permitted. The second session included a presentation from the London (England) City Airport, which represents a situation somewhat comparable to that in Toronto, along with views of those in favour or opposing that airport. The third session presented the case for maintaining the current tripartite agreement governing the airport, or closing the airport; discussions covered such issues as economic repercussions, noise levels, and subsidies. The next session considered the case for new roles for the airport, along with such issues as amendments to the tripartite agreement and the construction of a fixed link to the airport. The final session covered options for financing, impact of competition from new airlines, options for future governance, and other issues. Comments from local politicians and written submissions from concerned parties are also included.

Unbuilt Toronto 2 by Mark Osbaldeston Pdf

Discover the scrapyard statue planned for University Avenue, the flapper-era "CN Tower" that led to a decade of litigation, and an electric light-rail transit network proposed in 1915. Winner of the 2012 Heritage Toronto Award of Merit Quill & Quire cited Unbuilt Toronto as a book filled with "well-researched, often gripping tales of grand plans," while Canadian Architect said that it is "an impressively researched exploration of never-realized architectural and master-planning projects intended for the city." Now Unbuilt Toronto 2 provides an all-new, fascinating return to the "Toronto that might have been." Discover the scrapyard statue planned for University Avenue, the flapper-era "CN Tower" that led to a decade of litigation, and an electric light-rail transit network proposed in 1915. What would Toronto look like today if it had hosted the Olympics in 1996 or 1976? And what was the downtown expressway that Frederick Gardiner really wanted? With over 150 photographs, maps, and illustrations, Unbuilt Toronto 2 tracks the origins and fates of some of the city’s most interesting planning, transit, and architectural "what-ifs."

Canada in Cities by Katherine A.H. Graham,Caroline Andrew Pdf

The federal government and its policies transform Canadian cities in myriad ways. Canada in Cities examines this relationship to better understand the interplay among changing demographics, how local governments and citizens frame their arguments for federal action, and the ways in which the national government uses its power and resources to shape urban Canada. Most studies of local governance in Canada focus on politics and policy within cities. The essays in this collection turn such analysis on its head, by examining federal programs, rather than municipal ones, and observing how they influence local policies and work with regional authorities and civil societies. Through a series of case studies - ranging from federal policy concerning Aboriginal people in cities, to the introduction of the federal gas tax transfer to municipalities, to the impact of Canada's emergency management policies on cities - the contributors provide insights about how federal politics influence the local political arena. Analyzing federal actions in diverse policy fields, the authors uncover meaningful patterns of federal action and outcome in Canadian cities. A timely contribution, Canada in Cities offers a comprehensive study of diverse areas of municipal public policy that have emerged in Canada in recent years.
