This study looks at the changes in 10 Canadian CMAs between 1981 and 2001 and builds on the work of other Canadian researchers to show how the extent, location and nature of gentrification processes have continued since the 1970s. The analysis of census data from 1981 and 2001 identifies...

This paper presents an estimate of the Vancouver metropolitan area's density profile to show the presence of density gradient inversions. A number of explanations for the inversions are offered and the policy implications of the explanations are briefly discussed.

The increase in the higher density homeownership options made possible by the introduction of the condominium tenure option can affect the environmental quality of inner-city neighbourhoods and increase the efficiency of the urban and regional spatial structure. The growth of the condominium...
