1. CITIES AND THE CONSTITUTION (McGill-Queens University Press):
This book confronts the misalignment between the importance of municipalities and their constitutional status. While city governments are at the forefront of mitigating the challenges of urban life, they are given insufficient power to effectively attend to public needs. Details HERE.
2. THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF CANADIAN CITIES (McGill-Queen's University Press):
This book examines how pre-Confederation cities came to have their current constitutional and legislative forms; how current local governments make decisions within existing legal parameters, highlighting Indigenous-municipal relationships and emergency management; and, finally, looks to the world to investigate future innovation in municipal governance. Details HERE.
This program will be conducted in English.
