Urban Planning in Canada

Paper Summary:

This paper is based on Chapter 14 of F. Frisken's book entitled "The Changing Canadian Metropolis", which is called "Urban Sprawl in the Montreal Area - Policies and Trends" by Francois Charbonneau, Pierre Hamel and Michel Barcelo. The author points out that this chapter is about urban sprawl in Montreal and how it is affecting the city itself, particularly the city center of Montreal, because, with the increase in suburbanization, the center has become like a ghost town of sorts. The paper relates that the government implemented some policies, but these were ineffective.
