Residential Intensification at the Interface of Market-Driven Development and Planning: Uneven Residential Intensification Outcomes in Toronto

ABSTRACT

The paper concentrates on changes in the balance of power between the market and planning reflecting the shift from Fordism to neoliberalism. The empirical substance originates from the Toronto metropolitan region, Canada’s largest and most economically globalised urban area. An investigation of sub-centres and the contrast between two waves of residential intensification tie limited planning capacity to shifting intensification outcomes. In one wave the affordability goal was attained but not accessibility and regional planning objectives, in the other wave these objectives were achieved but not affordability.

摘要

本文集中讨论了市场与规划之间力量平衡的变化，反映了福特主义向新自由主义的转变. 经验的实质来自加拿大最大、经济全球化程度最高的多伦多都市区. 对副中心的调查以及两次住宅密集化浪潮之间的对比将有限的规划能力与转移集约化成果联系在一起. 在一个浪潮中，实现了可承受性目标，但没有达到可及性和区域规划目标;在另一个浪潮中，这些目标实现了，但负担不起.
