Service user storytelling in social work education
Social work education increasingly prioritizes including service user narratives as part of classroom curriculum. Lived experience has also become valorized in health and social service sectors, where service users are employed as peer workers to use their experiential knowledge to inform, educate, and influence the sector. Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews, this paper allows peer workers to reflect on their experiences of being invited …

Where Is the Café? The Challenge of Making Retail Uses Viable in Mixed-use Suburban Developments
Contemporary planners see mixing residential, retail and other compatible uses as an essential planning principle. This paper explores the challenges that planners, developers and municipal councillors encounter in trying to implement retail uses as part of the mix in suburban areas in three Canadian cities. The study finds that planners employ evolutionary theories of urban development to naturalise their normative visions of walkable and sociab…
Reproducing Difference
Historical and cultural studies of residential enclaves reveal the range of patterns within a phenomenon that some have treated essentially as the result of contemporary neoliberal conditions. Gated and enclosed communities are by no means new, nor are they the product of universal principles or circumstances. Among other things, they reflect historical conditions, contemporary concerns, cultural ambitions and inter-group dynamics. Based largely …

Planning the (dis)connected city
A strong consensus around values of mixed use, connected streets, and alternative transportation modes drives urban planning theory in most Western nations today. Smart growth and sustainable development models promote diversity, affordability, and connectedness in a vibrant public realm. At the same time, though, we note that gated developments are on the increase. How can we account for the proliferation of homogeneous, isolated, and car-orient…
Planning Responses to Gated Communities in Canada
This paper describes the distribution of gated developments and the municipal planning response to them in Canada. Although gating is not as common as in the US, the number of gated subdivisions is increasing, especially in western Canada. Gating has not yet generated significant social debate regarding the social, economic or political implications of this residential form. While planners in some communities have developed tools to regulate gati…
Types of Gated Communities
In the last decade the planning literature has reflected growing interest in the topic of gated communities. To date, this relatively new field of research has generated limited theoretical development. Although recent literature has begun to elucidate the social and economic contexts that make gated enclaves a global phenomenon, few works offer an overview of the physical features of gated communities. The key source articulating a framework for…
Mixed Use in Theory and Practice
This article explores the theory and practice of mixed use, from its origins in the critiques of Jane Jacobs to the recent prescriptions of New Urbanism. Drawing on experiences in Canada, where mixed use has become firmly established as a key planning principle, we identify some of the problems and barriers encountered in seeking mix in several cities. We find that mixed use promises economic vitality, social equity, and environmental quality, bu…

Using a Peer Resource Learning Model in Planning Education
A studio-based approach to planning education provides opportunities for employing a peer resource model whereby students facilitate each other's learning. This paper describes the experience of coordinating undergraduate studio classes from different levels of study as students worked on a series of related projects. The authors suggest that a peer resource model of education empowers students with confidence in their own experience and growing …

Several examples of community planning in Halifax are analyzed in a study of the nature of democratic societies. Grant studies questions such as: What arguments do people offer to influence politicians? and How do communities make decisions about appropriate uses of urban spaces?

Changing Patterns of Wage Labor Migration in the Kilenge Area of Papua New Guinea
This study of the inhabitants of Ongaia village in the Kilenge area of Papua New Guinea documents the role of labor migration in one area of New Britain. It notes that the potential for migration seems to vary with several factors: opportunities at the destination and perceptions of those opportunities; pressures in the village such as population, productivity, perceived need for cash, and social values; and connections between town and village. …
