Abstract
This paper examines the issues of transportation and mobility in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The issues that the paper covers include the following: the debate about transportation and sustainability, car dependence, the growth and urban sprawl in the GTA and its impacts and implications on transportation practices. The writer examines the key transport and mobility issues in the GTA and the solutions that are proposed for solving them, particularly in the context of achieving a more sustainable growth of the city.

From the Paper
"Analysis of the above problems reveals that their major cause is the extensive use of private automobiles. They are the major consumers of fossil fuels whose consumption produces CO2 and other dangerous gases and whose sources are rapidly melting away. Recent research shows that cities that provide the best terms for the automobile transportation are the ones with the highest CO2 emissions. They are involved in the accidents that result in the injury, loss of life and property damage. Also, car dependence is responsible for traffic congestion of which we see more and more within the GTA Alarming is the fact that the use of private automobiles in increasing, a fact that will be addressed further below."

Abstract
This paper explains that the city of Toronto and the greater Toronto Area seems to be in the midst of a transitional period in terms of the transportation infrastructure of the urban region. The paper further explains that, while the decaying 20th century infrastructure and transportation systems have been recognized as requiring refurbishment and expansion, and all levels of government appear to be committed to these renovations, the nature and direction of these changes are still unclear.

Abstract
This paper explores one of the Big Move's ten strategies for enhancing the quality of live, environmental sustainability and economic competitiveness of Greater Toronto; the strategy to be examined is strategy number two or the enhancement and expansion of the city's active transportation. If this strategy is pursued (in conjunction with other strategic initiatives highlighted in the Metrolinx report), then the city of Toronto will solve one of its chief problems - crowded, congested streets - and also cut down (or at least begin the process of cutting down) on pollution and carbon emissions.

Abstract
This paper examines contemporary urban issues in Toronto and other Canadian cities. The author explores the concept that all cities faces challenges unique to their population. An example is where one city struggles to integrate new residents, other cities may struggle to keep its youth from relocating elsewhere. The paper concludes that each city struggles with its own specific urban issue.

From the Paper
"Contemporary urban issues abound in Western cities. In fact, it can seem at times as if cities themselves exist without end of problems for policy and city planners to surmount. These problems are diverse and can encompass topics such as affordable housing, reliable public transportation, or infrastructure limitations. All of these problems, and many more, plague all Canadian cities to varying degrees. For example, one city might struggle with managing an influx of new residents while another city struggles to keep its youth from relocating elsewhere. Every city has urban issues that need to be

Abstract
This paper examines the representations and portrayals of deviance by the United Way of Greater Toronto. Essentially, this paper asserts that, despite their laudable intentions, the United Way ad is problematic inasmuch as it does not tell the full story about juvenile deviance. The paper further explores the subtle and not so subtle assumptions in the picture, from where they may have originated, and what these assumptions say about the contemporary society that is moving to confront deviance amongst young people.

Essentially, this paper will assert that, despite their laudable intentions, the United Way ad is problematic inasmuch as it does not tell the full story about juvenile deviance. In brief, this essay will explore the subtle and not so subtle assumptions in the picture, from where they may have originated, and what these assumptions say about the contemporary society that is moving to confront deviance amongst young people. Once again, our battle against youth delinquency/deviance seems to be the product of racial attitudes and..."

Abstract
The paper relates that a region of the size and diversity of the Greater Toronto Area will experience challenges and conflicts in proportion to that level of complexity. The paper briefly looks at the foundational issues of dealing with these challenges, which consists of defining the scope and nature of this important region, and concluding with an overview of what some of its most important priorities and challenges will be in the years ahead.

From the Paper
"The Greater Toronto Area (or GTA) had a population of more than 5.5 million people as of the 2006 Census report, making this region the most populous metropolitan conglomeration in the nation. It is also one of the nation's fast-growing areas, with an estimated net population increase of approximately 80,000 per year, or roughly 1.7 million by the year 2030 ("Population Forecast and Growth Rate," para. 1). Consisting of the City of Toronto and the adjacent regional municipalities of Peel, York, Durham, and Halton (in decreasing order of population), it stretches over an area..."

Abstract
This paper examines the youth gang problem in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The paper explains that governmental, academic and media sources tend to discuss the gangs only in a social context, ignoring profit motivations centred on the crack cocaine industry. The paper also looks at how youth gang activity in the GTA is more entrenched than a decade ago. The paper stresses how most sources fail to identify the central factor of a crack economy that is most lucrative, notably in academic sources that may present theories and models which fail to consider differences in the crack industry supporting gangs. In conclusion, the paper shows that persons supplying millions in crack to Toronto each year are not victims of troubled identity and membership, bad housing, educational failure or the results of bigotry, but people motivated by profits.

Outline:
Introduction
Extent of Gang Activity
Varied Perceptions
Significant Crime
Concluding Discussion

From the Paper
"Educated opinion indicates a liberal position equating gang membership with poverty, low opportunity or other disadvantage in a now usual rationale given minority members to engage in criminal youth gangs. The public can be unaware of 'white' gang members or gangs without particular ethnic origin or members by no means from deprived backgrounds. The culture of delinquency involves profiting from a deadly dug, as stressed later, though the educated public can seem more concerned by police approaches to youths arrested at younger than 14 or arrests made more often within one community than another. When the Toronto Police Service cracked down on the Crips-back New Born Assassins in the Keele-Eglinton area, in response to violent planned muggings, critics noted that those arrested were mainly 14 to 15 years old, charged with conspiracy to commit an indictable robbery, robbery and disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence; the public can be unclear as to why arrests are made when youths are 'not guilty' of an actual offense."
