Description
This study, first published in 1968, was one of the first books on Canada's urban development, bringing together the viewpoints of professionals who had studied various aspects of city growth - economic, social, geographic, political. The book demonstrates the effectiveness and potential of the cross-disciplinary approach and will prove useful to all those interested in the future of our cities.
