Shaping the Metropolis: Institutions and Urbanization in the United States and Canada (McGill-Queen's Studies in Urban Governance)

Rising income inequality and concentrated poverty threaten the social sustainability of North American cities. Suburban growth endangers sensitive ecosystems, water supplies, and food security. Existing urban infrastructure is crumbling while governments struggle to pay for new and expanded services. Can our inherited urban governance institutions and policies effectively respond to these problems? In Shaping the Metropolis Zack Taylor compares the historical development of American and Canadian urban governance, both at the national level and through specific metropolitan case studies. Examining Minneapolis-St Paul and Portland, Oregon, in the United States, and Toronto and Vancouver in Canada, Taylor shows how differences in the structure of governing institutions in American states and Canadian provinces cumulatively produced different forms of urban governance. Arguing that since the nineteenth century American state governments have responded less effectively to rapid urban growth than Canadian provinces, he shows that the concentration of authority in Canadian provincial governments enabled the rapid adoption of coherent urban policies after the Second World War, while dispersed authority in American state governments fostered indecision and catered to parochial interests. Most contemporary policy problems and their solutions are to be found in cities. Shaping the Metropolis shows that urban governance encompasses far more than local government, and that states and provinces have always played a central role in responding to urban policy challenges and will continue to do so in the future.

Will Cooper is a character based on myself and two friends, both of whom have seen much more danger than I in real life. I am, however, thrilled to say we all share the same maligned sense of humor. In my opinion, Will Cooper is one of those rare individuals worth emulating. He cares about each person he meets, be they friend, enemy, or simply an unexpected acquaintance. Help is given freely while justice and revenge are metered and delivered only after careful deliberation. Treating anyone unjustly is something Will avoids at all cost. Like so many of us, Will Cooper's life was shaped by happenstance. He and his best pal, Harvey, share a unique existence. Both rabidly believe in that existence and respect the danger that comes with it. They are not immune to mistakes, but remain aware that to many mistakes will eventually bring a fatal one. A rescue in the Iraq desert brings on a series of events that cannot be reversed, changing not only Will and Harvey's lives forever, but also the lives of those around them. Will, as always, tries to balance his present and future with the need to do his job well and at the same time remain a decent human being. It is a tightrope walk at the best of times.

A few decades back there lived a cadre of men who nurtured and advanced the art of fishing with the fly. They covered their skin with citronella oil to fend off mosquitoes and black flies. They kept their cat-gut leaders soaked in water to make them pliable. They wrote about fly fishing and they went by names like Haig-Brown, Wulff, Traver, Maclean and MacQuarrie. Of them all, Gordon MacQuarrie may be least known as a fly-fishing author. Like them, however, he was a master story-teller as well as an accomplished fly fishermen. MacQuarrie did not scribe how-to articles. Instead, he drew the reader into streamside angling ventures, telling an absorbing but instructive story as he did so, always in a light-hearted style. Here now, gathered for the first time, are Gordon MacQuarrie's timeless stories of angling for browns, brooks, and rainbows. Sixteen stories that, after you've read them, will make you realize why this mischievous little Irishman -- "The Bard of the Brule" -- is good company to the Haig-Browns, Wullfs, Travers, and Macleans of angling literature.
