The general objectives of this study were: to develop a quantitative picture of the changing population distribution in six selected urban regions (Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver); to identify the principal infrastructure and land use planning issues associated with the changing population patterns in those regions, based on the perceptions and experiences of senior planning professionals; and to identify the policies and strategies developed by regional and municipal governments, and to ascertain perceptions of their success. The report first describes overall patterns of urban growth and interprets the patterns based on a conceptual model of the evolution of an urban-centred region. It then turns attention to the six urban regions, discussing governmental structure, patterns of change, perceptions of issues, and strategies, with discussion centred around a core (usually urban core and suburbs combined) and rural-urban fringe differentiation. Issues and strategies are then synthesized and conclusions are presented concerning critical components for tackling the management of municipalities in the context of changing urban regions.
