Description
Cities are not just locations on a map: they are diverse places in which human interaction unites and divides, stimulates and antagonizes, is structured and resisted. Bringing together 17 chapters contributed by experts in the field, Urban Canada offers a composite sketch of the dynamics of urbanization and the layered structure of urban life in Canada today. Updated and revised throughout, this third edition incorporates cutting-edge research and offers brand-new chapters on urban public spaces and urban sustainability.

Editorial Reviews
"I like that this textbook covers the majority of social justice issues that exist in the city. . . . It is unique in that it focusses almost entirely on Canada." -Alexandre Ouimet, Vanier College
