Canadian Cities and Planning Case StudyOrder Description To collect and analyze data and information on a planning issue, event, or development in the Canadian urban context.
To apply some of the knowledge acquired through researching.
To discuss the case study using some of the explanatory frameworks introduced in the course (e.g. different approaches to planning; planning ideas and strategies, the politics of planning; the history of planning; ethics and values in planning; the process of planning, the tools of planning, etc.). It is important to keep the descriptive and interpretive/analytical parts of the assignment separate as we are assessing different skill sets. Data and information on the case studies should be obtained through a mix of scholarly sources, web-based information, newspaper articles, government publications, policy reports, council minutes, or any other relevant materials. Do not rely on one single type of source.
