Book Description
Planning Canadian Regions is the first book to consolidate the history, evolution, current practice, and future prospects for regional planning in Canada. As planners grapple with challenges wrought by globalization, the evolution of massive new city-regions, and the pressures for sustainable and community economic development, a deeper understanding of Canada’s approaches is invaluable. Hodge and Robinson identify the intellectual and conceptual foundations of regional planning and review the history and main modes of regional planning for rural regions, economic development regions, resource development regions, and metropolitan and city-regions. They draw lessons from Canada’s past experience and conclude by proposing a new paradigm addressing the needs of regional planning now and in the future, emphasizing regional governance, greater inclusiveness and integration of physical planning with planning for economic sustainability and natural ecosystems. Planning Canadian Regions will be a much-needed text for students and teachers of regional planning and an indispensable reference for planning practitioners. It will also find a receptive audience in such disciplines as urban planning, environmental studies, geography, political science, public administration, and economics.

Book Description
The Commission on Planning and Development Reform in Ontario was appointed by the Ontario Government in June 1991 to recommend changes to the Planning Act and related policy that would restore confidence in the integrity of the planning process, protect the public interest, better define roles and relationships, focus more closely on protecting the natural environment, and make the planning process more timely and efficient. The report describes the purpose of planning and the current policy process in Ontario; the provincial role in policy and planning; planning and aboriginal communities; municipal plan-making; lot creation and development control; public involvement; conflict, disputes, and appeals; sewage treatment and septics; streamlining; and implementation.
