The Politics of Place: Place-making versus Densification in Toronto's Tower Neighbourhoods
Toronto's Tower Neighbourhood Renewal (TR) programme is a municipal government initiative tackling aging high-rise apartment building clusters in need of physical upgrades. One strategy for a more vibrant future for those clusters is densification or new infill housing. The main argument of the essay is that the unique urban structure of Toronto's inner suburbs challenges the implementation of TR's densification strategy. The proximity of many re…
Locating the Urban In-between: Tracking the Urban Politics of Infrastructure in Toronto
In the urban studies literature, urban politics is usually considered in two distinct locations: the city (often understood in quite conventional centralist ways) and the suburb (understood as spatially peripheral and politically at odds with the central city). At the metropolitan scale, the two types of urban politics are discussed in relation to one another. More recently, the metropolitan scale of urban politics has been expanded to regional d…
Reconnecting the disconnected: The politics of infrastructure in the in-between city
Changing Toronto: Governing Urban Neoliberalism
"With an eye for global forces, this panoramic account revolves around a focus on social, spatial, and environmental justice in the city, offering a lively riposte to both dull academicism and theatrical boosterism." - Kanishka Goonewardena, University of Toronto
Fringe explosions: Risk and vulnerability in Canada's new in‐between urban landscape
This article argues that a new landscape of urbanization takes shape in Canadian cities. In‐between the old downtowns and the new suburbs of urban Canada, a hitherto underexposed and under‐researched mix of residential, commercial, industrial, educational, agricultural and ecologically protected areas and land uses has become the home and workplace, and increasingly also the playspace of most people in Canada. The article examines this new landsc…

The offbeat Broadway musical Urinetown, written by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis, tells the story of a fictional town where urinating and defecating is strictly controlled by a private corporation

Functional Autonomy, Role Distance and Social Class
Social Class Differences in Conceptions of the Uses of Toys
Evidence from a sample of 351 families reveals social class differences in mother's conceptions of the uses of toys. Both the degree of agreement in the ranking of six possible uses of toys and the differentiation of the choices follow a social class gradient. Within the lower three social class groups the score on an index of maternal-child communication relates to maternal conceptions of the uses of toys. A significant correlation exists betwee…
