Winner of the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) Award for Planning Excellence for a Planning Publication! “Planning Canadian Communities…is being recognized for its significant contribution to the field of study in planning remaining the most recognizable and relevant textbook in planning schools across Canada.” Plan Canada lauds the book as: “…a classic in the literature dealing with Canadian community planning practice. … it is essentially without peer―as an academic text, a comprehensive lay-person’s primer, and as a basis for charting the emergence of a profession for some, a discipline for others, and a cause for all…” Planning Canadian Communities is the nation’s standard survey textbook on community planning. It provides a comprehensive view of the needs, origins, contemporary practices, and future challenges in planning Canadian cities, towns, and regions. The text describes the history of community planning in Canada, how it works today and who participates in it. The 6th edition includes three new chapters on neighbourhood plans, infrastructure and planning for diverse and healthy communities.

Gerald Hodge uses the latest statistics to map the current and future spatial distribution of Canada's seniors and their diversity. Drawing on tested aging-environmental research and years of planning experience, he delineates the everyday geography of seniors and proposes a comprehensive framework for all communities - large and small, urban, suburban, and rural - that will allow them to respond to the needs of a rapidly aging population while recognizing the importance of maintaining the independence of their seniors.

Planning Canadian Regions is the first book to consolidate the history, evolution, current practice, and future prospects for regional planning in Canada. As planners grapple with challenges wrought by globalization, the evolution of massive new city-regions, and the pressures of sustainable and community development, a deeper understanding of Canada's approaches is invaluable. Hodge and Robinson identify the conceptual and historical foundations of regional planning and propose a new planning paradigm that emphasizes regional governance and greater inclusiveness and integration of physical planning with planning for economic sustainability and natural ecosystems.

A discussion of the history, evolution, practice and prospects for regional planning in Canada. The authors identify the intellectual and conceptual foundations of regional planning and review the main modes of planning for different regions, including rural and resource development regions.

Planning Canadian Regions was the first book to integrate the history, contemporary practice, and emergent issues of regional planning in Canada. This much-anticipated second edition brings the discussion up to date, applying the same thorough analysis to illuminate the factors rapidly shaping our regional landscapes. Special attention is paid to the need to plan for climate change, the development inequities faced by peripheral resource regions, the distinctive planning needs of large urban regions comprising several metropolitan areas, and the special role of Aboriginal peoples in regional planning. This book challenges planners and policy makers alike to engage with the latest thinking on regional planning and strive for best planning practices in the twenty-first century.
