In reading Lorinc, The Ward, pp 30-45, several issues come up in discussion. The main concerns here are related to the growth of a city and what is involved in that growth. Several objectives need to be reconciled in a city’s development and planning. The principal ones are linked to housing, employment, public services and maintaining spaces for parks.

As anyone who has recently walked through the city, the forest of cranes and construction of condo and commercial buildings is quite significant. We could say that there’s a lot of emphasis on building, growth and development of spaces.

In this context, it’s important also to ask what some of the effects of this building are. Using The Ward we can see some of the outcomes of previous development waves in the city. For this discussion, we’ll use material on pp30-45 and the links below to the City of Toronto’s webpresence.

Homelessness, Development and Relocation.

Who and what is caught in between? 

–We could say that development has a lot to do with homelessness. Homelessness also fuels development. Development is not always about housing people who are without a house, but more to push them out of the way of new buildings.

For this week’s class, I would like you to think about and discuss the recent processes associated with homelessness/houselessness by looking at groups of people who are most affected.

But also, and in sadly very much neglected ways, parts of the city’s natural environment, trees and animals are also affected by development.

Let’s think about parks and ravines as part of this system that are involved in development. The City of Toronto (Toronto.ca) has useful information in general about the ways in which development will affect parks and open spaces.

Look at this page from the City:

When you’ve opened the page, go to the bottom and read the “city of Toronto fact sheets” and then find the “Parks and recreation” link. 

When you think about this information, remember that

·       this new pattern of development and housing means that parks will be harder to create because more land will go to housing

·       animal and natural habitat is lost in the process

·       it is not likely that there will be rehabilitation for animal and natural habitat

·       building parks is not the same thing as leaving habitat alone

When thinking about these questions, have a look at this page:

Do you notice anything here about replacing habitat as development goes ahead.  What do you think should be done to replace habitat for animals?  Can you find documentation or scholarship on your ideas?  I’ve located one example for you:

Fahrig, L. (2019). Habitat Fragmentation, a long and tangled tale. In Global ecology and biogrography. (v28 no 1) pp33-41.

Things to do: 

I’d like everyone to respond by doing the following in an essay: 

1.       a description of what the pages 30-45 in The Ward  mean to you

2.     critically look at the issue of development in the City from the point of view of parks, habitat and animals

3.     if you have to choose between building new habitat or leaving existing habitat alone which option would you choose?  Please use scholarship to support your ideas.
