Planning for craft breweries
The majority of the province of Saskatchewan's craft breweries are housed in the two largest cities, Saskatoon and Regina. Current planning practices in both cities direct breweries to limited geographies in central established areas. I argue that the extent to which craft breweries play a role in processes of gentrification in mid-sized cities is directly tied to planning practices which regulate the geography of craft beer. In order to assess t…
The place of the public under Covid‐19
Over the past several decades, scholars have lamented the erosion of “true” public space through the rise of semi‐public and private spaces where access is determined, and usage is increasingly regulated (e.g., through curfews and restrictions on use). Writing in the midst of the sixth wave of COVID‐19, the importance of inclusive, open spaces in Canadian urban centres is evident: these are spaces that allow for movement and participation (ideall…
Comparative Analysis of the Constitution and Implementation of Race/Skin Color Field in Health Information Systems
Lofts in translation
This paper contributes to analyses of gentrification in smaller cities. Drawing on a case study of Regina, Saskatchewan's Warehouse District, I document the conversion of post‐industrial structures into loft condominiums and the rise of middle‐class consumption to support this residential base. I demonstrate that while the Warehouse District displays similarities with the paradigmatic case studies on loft living that dominate the literature (e.g.…
Reconfiguring the breastfeeding body in urban public spaces
The breastfeeding body is subject to overt and subversive forms of regulation and control in contemporary society, where it is sexualized and naturalized, rendered both visible and invisible, revered and found disruptive. Despite health policy espousing the benefits of breastfeeding for mother and child, duration rates in Canada remain relatively low. In this paper, I explore the spatial practices of the breastfeeding body in public, using femini…
Risk factors for incident HIV infection among antenatal mothers in rural Eastern Cape, South Africa
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of HIV among antenatal clients in South Africa has remained at a very high rate of about 29% despite substantial decline in several sub-Saharan countries. There is a paucity of data on risk factors for incident HIV infection among antenatal mothers and women within the reproductive age bracket in local settings in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. OBJECTIVE: To establish the risk factors for incident HIV infection among a…
Intoxifying gentrification
This paper traces one craft brewery (Mill Street Brewery) across two industrial heritage properties—in Toronto’s Distillery District and Ottawa’s LeBreton Flats—to investigate the extent to which alcohol functions as a catalyst of urban change. Using an analysis of both planning and policy documents, as well as media coverage for the two properties, we explore the role that alcohol plays in recalibrating industrial landscapes into spaces of consu…
Incoherence and Tension in Culture-Led Redevelopment
This article contributes to contemporary debates surrounding the outcome of culture-led redevelopment by exploring the tensions that arise when a broad application of 'culture' is used to theme space. I take as my focus the Distillery District, a private sector redevelopment in the City of Toronto, Ontario that draws on the arts alongside industrial heritage to heighten consumption. The article is divided into two main sections. I begin with a re…

Constraints to implementing an equity-promoting staff allocation policy
Much of current research on issues of equity in low- and middle-income countries focuses on uncovering and describing the extent of inequities in health status and health service provision. In terms of policy responses to inequity, there is a growing body of work on resource reallocation strategies. However, little published work exists on the challenges of implementing new policies intended to improve equity in health status or health service de…

Aestheticizing Space
This article explores the relationship between art and gentrification at the urban scale. In particular, it maps shifting conceptualizations of this relationship through a focus on art, artists and arts spaces in the successive waves of gentrification. The first half of the article outlines the conceptualization of the arts in the first and second waves of gentrification, beginning with artist location preferences, detailing how and why these are…
Set appeal
The film industry plays an important and largely under-theorized role in processes of urban change shaping the physical and cultural renderings of place in material and imaginative ways. In this paper, I examine the relationship between film and urban redevelopment at the Distillery District in Toronto, Canada. I argue that the film industry functioned as an important intermediary tenant at the site following its closure as an operating industria…
Research to action to address inequities
The two very different, but connected projects, demonstrate the value of adopting the GEGA approach, and the importance of involvement of all stakeholders at all stages. The studies also illustrate the potential of a research institution as informed 'outsiders', in influencing policy and practice
Artcetera
In this paper, the relationship is traced between art and gentrification in the neighbourhood of Yorkville, Toronto, from 1960 to 2007. Following the exodus of artists and the more experimental art galleries in the 1960s, a result of social and economic upgrading, Yorkville was forced to recast its identity, a process that involved reproducing the creative pulse of the 1960s art scene. A set of interviews conducted with visual artists who worked …
