Boundary of the Greenbelt Plan

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the Greenbelt Plan 2005. It looks at the issues that have been created by suburban development, particularly urban sprawl. The paper then discusses the environmental, economic and political problems that can be caused by urban sprawl. The paper analyzes the Greenbelt Plan and discusses how it has been implemented in Ontario and its success. The paper finally presents an argument that the Greenbelt area is not significantly curbing urban sprawl. In order to further its arguments, the paper includes area maps.

Conclusions

From the Paper:

"The first factor that needs to be considered is that the census data is not current. The census data was obtained in 2001. The Greenbelt plan was not implemented until 2005. This means that the real effects of the Greenbelt will not be observable until the most recent census is made available. Even then the data may only show the beginning of a curbing trend."
"The other factor to consider is location. Vaughan is located immediately north of Toronto. Uxbridge and Scugog Township are located to a considerable distance from Toronto. Vaughan's close proximity to Toronto may be a factor in its higher growth rate."
