The Commission on Planning and Development Reform in Ontario was appointed by the Ontario Government in June 1991 to recommend changes to the Planning Act and related policy that would restore confidence in the integrity of the planning process, protect the public interest, better define roles and relationships, focus more closely on protecting the natural environment, and make the planning process more timely and efficient. The report describes the purpose of planning and the current policy process in Ontario; the provincial role in policy and planning; planning and aboriginal communities; municipal plan-making; lot creation and development control; public involvement; conflict, disputes, and appeals; sewage treatment and septics; streamlining; and implementation.

In Taking the Air, Paul Kopas takes a comprehensive approach to the policy aspects of the management of parks and protected areas. He scrutinizes the policy-making process for national parks since the mid-1950s and interrogates the rationale and policies that have governed their administration. He argues that national parks and park policy reflect not only environmental concerns but also the political and social attitudes of bureaucrats, citizens, interest groups, Aboriginal peoples, and legal authorities. He explores how the goals of each group have been shaped by the historical context of park policy, influencing the shape and weight of their contributions.

This is an insightful study of spatial planning and housing strategy in London, focusing on the period 2000-2008 and the Mayoralty of Ken Livingstone. Duncan Bowie presents a detailed analysis of the development of Livingstone’s policies and their consequences. Examining the theory and practice of spatial planning at a metropolitan level, Bowie examines the relationships between: planning, the residential development market and affordable housing environmental, economic and equity objectives national, regional and local planning agencies and their policies. It places Livingstone’s Mayoralty within its historical context and looks forward to the different challenges faced by Livingstone’s successors in a radically changed political and economic climate. Clear and engaging, this critical analysis provides a valuable resource for academics and their students as well as planning, housing and development professionals. It is essential reading for anyone interested in politics and social change in a leading ‘world city’ and provides a base for parallel studies of other major metropolitan regions.
