Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This document proposes a "New Capital City with Boroughs" model for restructuring local government in Ottawa-Carleton. The new city would include all of Ottawa-Carleton and would be divided into wards, sized to respect representation by population, which would be grouped to create Boroughs which respect communities of interest. After an introduction on the rationale & benefits of the proposed model, section I sets out the Regional Council position on restructuring. Section II describes the model, including structure, committees, services, cost savings, and alternative models not considered. Section III presents a proposed by-law to create the new city with boroughs. Section IV tabulates tax savings in the new city (municipal services only). Section V, forming the bulk of the document, analyzes individual services and their restructuring under the new model. Each part of this section includes a summary & history of the service and how the restructuring would satisfy the criteria of lowering taxes, better & more efficient service delivery, less bureaucracy, and clear lines of responsibility & better accountability. Appendices include background information on the new city, lessons learned from past municipal restructuring studies, a summary of structures & differing responsibilities in other regional districts or municipalities, and an overview of Ottawa-Carleton agencies, boards, & commissions.

Planning Canadian Regions
Author: Gerald HodgePublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774845279
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 489
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.

Using capital cities in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ethiopia, Germany, India, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United States as case studies, contributors examine federal policies towards capital cities, with a particular emphasis on how capital cities are funded and governed, and the extent to which the federal government compensates them for their unique role.
