    The gender question
    (Canadian Institute of Planners, 2018-07) Bishop, Mary
    Last year, Sue Hendler’s book (with Julia Markovich), titled “I was the Only Woman”: Women and Planning in Canada was published. It was with great anticipation that I ordered a copy, hoping to read all about the wonderful women who have contributed to planning and our profession. While disappointed that there were so few, as I reflected on my own experience, I realized that it really wasn’t until the 1980s that women began to enter the profession and joined the CIP in greater numbers.

    RPP-ortability
    (Canadian Institute of Planners, 2018-07)
    Members of our planning institutes have, since the inception of the profession in Canada, enjoyed the ability to move and work across the country with their memberships and certifications recognized and respected. This includes Quebec, depending on your proficiency in the French language. The seamless fabric of ‘portability,’ however, is actually woven from strands of complex history behind the scenes.

    Back to the future again: Are planners relearning the traditions of civic design?
    (Canadian Institute of Planners, 2018-07) Berelowitz, Lance
    A version of the following article was published in Plan Canada’s 2000 Millennium special edition. It was a call to action. Since then, much has changed of course, and today’s urgent planning priorities were largely absent from my original piece. While the central tenet of the article remains valid, this updated version offers food for thought about what has changed, and what remains the same, in the intervening 18 years.

    Adjusting to Toronto's new reality
    (Canadian Institute of Planners, 2018-07) Qadeer, Mohammad; Agrawal, Sandeep
    The argument put forth in this article, with the help of the accompanying map, is that the Toronto Metropolitan Area (TMA) has evolved into distinct ethnic sectors of vibrant institutions, cultural practices, and economies. The ethnically defined spatial structure of the TMA is both enduring and increasingly embedded in suburban municipalities. This suburban view is in contrast with the urbanist vision emanating from the city centre. The article argues that the TMA is now a multicultural and multifocal metropolis. It has been relatively successful in accommodating and recognizing diversity. The new challenge is to integrate these diverse communities into a socially and culturally cohesive metropolitan society and space.
