Perverse Cities
Hidden Subsidies, Wonky Policy, and Urban Sprawl
Pamela Blais
Perverse Cities provides a provocative explanation

for the persistence of urban sprawl, pointing to
flawed public policies and distorted price signals.
Urban sprawl – low-density subdivisions and

business parks, big box stores and mega-malls –
has increasingly come to define city growth despite
decades of planning and policy. In Perverse Cities ,
Pamela Blais argues that flawed public policies and
mis-pricing create hidden, “perverse” subsidies and
incentives that promote sprawl while discouraging
more efficient and sustainable urban forms – clearly
not what most planners and environmentalists have
in mind. She makes the case for accurate pricing and
better policy to curb sprawl and shows how this can
be achieved in practice through a range of market-
oriented tools that promote efficient, sustainable
cities.

Beth Moore Milroy
By exposing the details of one redevelopment – the

Dundas Square area in Toronto – this book shows
how city planners can be overwhelmed by the
machinations of money and power, and also why
the planning field itself is ill-equipped to answer
the challenge of finding creative solutions for
post-industrial problems.
When manufacturers and retailers vacate traditional

locations, they leave holes in a city’s fabric that
signal a shifting urban-industrial terrain. Who should
mend these spaces, and how should they approach
the problem? Using Toronto’s Dundas Square
and surrounding area as a case study, this book
meticulously reconstructs the redevelopment process
to explore the theories and practices used. It traces
the labyrinth of competing interests that can sideline
and nearly overwhelm the public planning function.
In these circumstances, Moore Milroy concludes
that practising planners are marooned by planning

An absorbing study of how Japanese policy makers

This is the first book-length study of the Hanshin

Speaking for a Long Time

Public Space and Social Memory in Vancouver
Adrienne L. Burk
A vivid account of how three public monuments in

Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside have challenged the
norms of civic art by claiming a place in public space
for society’s most vulnerable groups.
The tragedy at École Polytechnique that took the

lives of our daughter Anne-Marie Edward and her
engineering school companions, and the ongoing
tragedy of the murder of Aboriginal women,
have changed our collective social consciousness
about violence against women. Adrienne
Burk’s beautiful and sensitive account of three
commemoration sites in Vancouver dedicated
to women murdered by men is a case in point,
written with extraordinary insight. Speaking for

Sex and the Revitalized City

Gender, Condominium Development, and Urban Citizenship
Leslie Kern
This book exposes the notion of women’s

emancipation through condo ownership as a
marketing ploy rather than a major shift in
gender relations.
This original study of the gendering processes

occurring in the neoliberal city is a significant
addition to scholarly debate on cities and gender.
Empirically grounded in the intricacies of the condo
market in Toronto, it both adds to, and updates, the
pathbreaking work around gendered critical urban
analysis. An accessible and incisive text that will no
doubt instigate future discussions.
– Loretta Lees, Cities Group, Department of
Geography, King’s College, London

overtook Toronto, women emerged as powerful
consumers, and reports claimed that home ownership
was offering young, single women freedom, financial

Suburb, Slum, Urban Village

Transformations in Toronto’s Parkdale Neighbourhood, 1875-2002
Carolyn Whitzman
This rich and detailed history of a

neighbourhood’s actual conditions, imaginary
connotations, and planning policies sheds light on
the complex social development of modern urban
space.
Suburb, Slum, Urban Village examines the

relationship between image and reality for one
city neighbourhood – Toronto’s Parkdale. Carolyn
Whitzman tracks Parkdale’s story across three
eras: its early decades as a politically independent
suburb of the industrial city; its half-century of
ostensible decline toward becoming a slum; and
its post-industrial period of transformation into a
revitalized urban village. This book also shows how
Parkdale’s image influenced planning policy for the
neighbourhood. Whitzman demonstrates that image
and reality have not always correlated for Parkdale.
Parkdale’s changing image stood in stark contrast
to its real social conditions. Nevertheless, this image

Quebec
A Historical Geography
Serge Courville
Translated by Richard Howard
A meticulously researched and original history of

Quebec that celebrates the interaction between its
physical landscape and its people.
In this richly documented work, Serge Courville

tells the geographical history of Quebec from the
appearance of the first humans through to the
present day. This detailed and erudite book maps
major stages of Quebec’s development, providing a
geographical record of the many social relationships
that over time created a sense of place. Landscape,
Courville shows, is the keeper of memory, the record
of successive changes, and a witness to the genesis
of the new. Places that were once agricultural, then
left to waste and ruin, are today revivified by tourism.
Areas that now house office buildings were long ago
open playgrounds where children ruled. Drawing
on vast research, Courville shows how, in spite of
the turbulence Quebec often endures – or perhaps
During his twenty-two years as a because of it – the land itself may be seen as an
