The objective of this course is to provide students with the empirical, analytical, theoretical, and methodological tools to understand and explain the politics and policy activities of Canada’s urban and suburban municipalities within their socio-economic, institutional, and constitutional contexts. A major concern is to evaluate how effectively and equitably city governments in Canada have responded to contemporary urban challenges. The course adopts a critical perspective on urban governance and engages with contemporary debates concerning municipal governance reform and the evolving nature of urban governance within Canadian federalism.
