about the books

Cities and the Constitution

Canadian municipalities oversee the country’s most urgent policy areas, yet the constitutional authority of cities to manage their increasing obligations has not kept pace. This volume considers how policy, law, and the constitution can be reimagined to resolve the mismatch between powers and responsibilities.

The Past, Present, and Future of Canadian Cities

The Past, Present, and Future of Canadian Cities explores the historical functions of municipalities, their current ability to tackle major problems, and how to unlock the potential of cities to help Canada seize the future.
