Are We Urban? The Urban Growth Agenda in the Atlantic Canada Context
September 9, 2003
The policy research study entitled "Are We Urban? The Urban Growth Agenda in
Atlantic Canada Context" was conducted by ShiftCentral on behalf of The Greater
Halifax Partnership. In general, it outlines the scope of the National urban
Agenda and its implications for Atlantic Canada.
The research for this report revealed that cities in Atlantic Canada face different
challenges than cities in Canada as a whole. But although Atlantic cities are
generally quite small, they fulfil many of the same roles and functions within
their regions as the biggest cities in the country.
This policy research is sponsored by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency
(ACOA) under the Atlantic Policy Research Initiative, which provides a forum
for the analysis of key micro-economic issues in Atlantic Canada. The views
expressed in this study do not necessarily reflect the views of ACOA or of the
Government of Canada.
