Globalization and 'Homelessness' in Toronto.

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the jargon of "globalization" and what we are to call "homelessness" in relation to topics of urban geography, medical geography, and implications for planners. The paper discusses long term implications of a permanent under-class, as predictable symptom of the modernization theory that is part and parcel of globalization's neo-liberal growth model.

From the Paper:

"Globalization and `Homelessness' in Central Toronto. Introductory Discussion The euphemism of `Globalization' that is used to refer to neo-liberal economic planning involves the removal of safety net spending in developed economies. A second euphemism is found in globalization's unwanted by-product of severe unwanted poverty among those we are accustomed to discussing, now, as "the homeless", a phenomenon that is a side-effect of the economic model that now prevails. By examining the example of central Toronto's vagrant destitution, one sees duplicated a phenomenon known in most Western cities, of the present, and with increasing homeless also reported in the notoriously strong economy of Japan.
