The Ontario Municipal Board is an independent provincial planning
appeals body that has wielded major influence on Toronto's urban
development. In this book, Aaron A. Moore examines the effect that
the OMB has had on the behavior and relationships of Toronto's main
political actors, including city planners, developers,
neighbourhood associations, and local politicians. Moore's findings
draw on a quantitative analysis of all OMB decisions and
settlements from 2000 through 2006, as well as eight in-depth case
studies. The cases, which examine a variety of development
proposals that resulted in OMB appeals, compare the decisions of
Toronto's political actors to those typified in American local
political economy analyses. A much-needed contribution to the
literature on the politics of urban development in Toronto since
the 1970s, Planning Politics in Toronto challenges popular
preconceptions of the OMB's role in Toronto's patterns of growth
and change.
