Description:Politics in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) have become increasingly divisive over the past decade, and solutions to the city's problems have become hot-topic issues debated in council and the press. Major issues, such as transit, have hit a point where there is more talk than action, where a vocal minority can sway the planning of the city away from what is needed and toward the interests of the few. "The New Urban Agenda" is equal parts history, social science, and call to action to solve the major problems facing the GTHA. Issues such as urban and suburban development, transit, the region's environmental impact, affordable housing, and the seemingly inherent corruption of municipal politics are all discussed, and award-winning author Bill Freeman offers a level-headed approach to each. He encourages individuals and communities to speak up for themselves and get involved in politics at a grassroots level. With no shortage of examples, he shows how this strategy can create the change that is needed to move cities forward in a way that benefits everyone, not just the financial and political elite.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
