The federal government and its policies transform Canadian cities
in myriad ways. Canada in Cities examines this relationship to
better understand the interplay among changing demographics, how
local governments and citizens frame their arguments for federal
action, and the ways in which the national government uses its
power and resources to shape urban Canada. Most studies of local
governance in Canada focus on politics and policy within cities.
The essays in this collection turn such analysis on its head, by
examining federal programs, rather than municipal ones, and
observing how they influence local policies and work with regional
authorities and civil societies. Through a series of case studies -
ranging from federal policy concerning Aboriginal people in cities,
to the introduction of the federal gas tax transfer to
municipalities, to the impact of Canada's emergency management
policies on cities - the contributors provide insights about how
federal politics influence the local political arena. Analyzing
federal actions in diverse policy fields, the authors uncover
meaningful patterns of federal action and outcome in Canadian
cities. A timely contribution, Canada in Cities offers a
comprehensive study of diverse areas of municipal public policy
that have emerged in Canada in recent years.
