    The challenge of growth
    (Canadian Institute of Planners, 2001) Grant, Jill
    Coping with growth is the eternal challenge of planning. After all, if we didn't fact chronic change (demographic, technological, economic), then it seems likely that we would have little need for institutionalized planning. Planning gives communities tools and strategies to think ahead, and to adapt our ways of living and our built environment to the challenge of change.

    Can Canadian cities compete?
    (Canadian Institute of Planners, 2001) Cappe, Marni
    As we come to a better understanding of the links between investment in cities, quality of life, and global competitiveness, it is becoming clearer that Canadian cities are on the verge of losing their competitive edge. Recent research indicates that municipal governments in Canada have far fewer levers to attract investment, fewer tools to finance local services, and limited access to federal and provincial funds. In the United States, cities have access to a fiscal tool kit that includes wide taxing powers and a broad array of government grants, loans, and tax incentives.

    Feeding the apartment dwellers: A planning strategy to enhance the long-term viability of contemporary farming in Canada's urban regions
    (Canadian Institute of Planners, 2001) Huhtala, Kari; Thomas, Karen; Hiley, Jim; Kenney, Elizabeth
    In their efforts to promote orderly growth within urban regions of Canada, planners identify the requirements of many different land uses and provide realistic options to balance them. At present, the planning processes they follow often concentrate on the demands of urban-related development, and pay minimal attention to the requirements of contemporary agricultural production. Planners in a municipality of the Greater Vancouver Metropolitan Region have demonstrated the type of approach and strategy needed to realize more sustainable growth in Canada's rapidly urbanizing regions.
