Canada in Cities examines this relationship to better understand the interplay among changing demographics, how local governments and citizens frame their arguments for federal action, and the ways in which the national government uses its power and resources to shape urban Canada. Most studies of local governance in Canada focus on politics and policy within cities. The essays in this collection turn such analysis on its head, by examining federal programs, rather than municipal ones, and observing how they influence local policies and work with regional authorities and civil societies. Through a series of case studies - ranging from federal policy concerning Aboriginal people in cities, to the introduction of the federal gas tax transfer to municipalities, to the impact of Canada's emergency management policies on cities - the contributors provide insights about how federal politics influence the local political arena. Analyzing federal actions in diverse policy fields, the authors uncover meaningful patterns of federal action and outcome in Canadian cities. A timely contribution, Canada in Cities offers a comprehensive study of diverse areas of municipal public policy that have emerged in Canada in recent years.Fields of governance ;7.Federal-city relationsCanadaCase studiesUrban policyCanadaCase studiesMunicipal governmentCanadaCase studiesCities and townsCanadaCase studiesFederal-city relationsUrban policyMunicipal governmentCities and towns307.760971Graham Katherine A.H., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1545852Graham Katherine A.
