Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This completely revised fourth edition of Canadian Cities in Transition examines in depth the major transformations taking place in urban Canada---and the transformation that must be set in motion if the society is to survive. Presenting the city in all its facets---historical evolution, economic dynamics, environmental impacts, urban lifestyles, cultural makeup, social structure, infrastructures, governance, planning, appearance---it is designed to help the next generation address the urban problems they are inheriting: Topics new to this edition include Aboriginal peoples in urban Canada, urban food systems, the need for more `walkable' cities to stem the growing obesity epidemic, and the startling but accurate concept of cities as human `feedlots'. --
