Gentrification in Toronto: An Analysis

Paper Summary:

The paper outlines the phenomenon of gentrification in large urban centres such as Toronto. The paper looks at both the intuitive and counter-intuitive aspects of gentrification as well as the factors that have most likely created these twin manifestations of the same broad phenomenon. No less importantly, the paper reviews the impact of misguided government policy upon communities and how these policies can foster the less salubrious aspects of gentrification.

From the Paper:

"The Strange Ambivalence of Gentrification in Toronto When most people think of Toronto, they think of a vibrant, engaging city with a prosperous downtown core and a still-promising future; they do not, as a rule, think about poverty. However, poverty exists in Toronto just as it does elsewhere in the world; indeed, poverty and the sharp demarcation between those who "have" and those who "have-not" is more pronounced in Canada's largest city than many are prepared to admit."
