Description

First published in 1976, this book offers twenty-two case studies of the politics, policies and problems of Canadian cities.

With backgrounds as planners, architects, politicians, social scientists and journalists, the contributors to this book share an interest in getting behind official rhetoric to expose the realities of how cities work and how they are governed.

Assessing urban developments from across Canada, The City Book offers immediate reports on the state of the nation's cities at a time of remarkable growth.
