This paper examines the changing location patterns of retail, wholesale, and commercial services as revealed in the Census of Merchandising since 1931. After a brief discussion of the data source, the paper looks at the extraordinary rates of growth & change that have occurred in those sectors of the economy and elaborates some hypotheses about possible impacts on the urban system. This is followed by a description of the spatial patterns of growth and the major locational change: the shift of distribution activity down the urban hierarchy. The final section discusses some recent trends and possible directions for future change.

This anthology of research is divided into five sections: definition of the urban system, structural characteristics, distribution of urban growth, transportation networks and interaction between cities, and the impact of growth on urban behaviour and the rural economy. Each section is preceded by the editors' comments. This is an excellent general reference on urbanization in Canada; it complements existing and largely American-based texts and should stimulate the student's interest in research on the unique Canadian urban milieu.
