A long-standing market-leading text for urban geography courses with a Canadian perspective, Canadian Cities in Transition, now in its sixth edition, continues to examine the critical issues and major transformations taking place in urban Canada. Examining all facets of Canadian cities, including historical evolution, dynamics of economy, environmental impacts, urban lifestyles, cultural makeup, social structure, infrastructures, governance, planning, and appearance, the text is crafted to help the next generation address the urban problems they are inheriting and find solutions for them. With new chapters on digital cities and sustainable development, as well as new and expanded coverage of contemporary issues such as accessibility, gentrification, and the rise of the creative class, the new edition offers a comprehensive and current study of Canadian cities, written by Canadians for Canadians.
