About the Author
Gerald Hodge is one of Canada’s foremost community and regional planners. A professor emeritus in the School of Urban and Regional Planning at Queen’s University, he has been involved in planning education, research, and practice for more than fifty years. Among his many publications are: Planning Canadian Communities (with David L.A. Gordon) now in its sixth edition, Towns and Villages in Canada (with M.A. Qadeer), The Geography of Aging: Preparing Communities for the Surge in Seniors, and the first edition of this book. Now retired to Hornby Island, BC, he continues to write on planning matters, especially those concerned with Canada’s aging population.
Heather M. Hall is an emerging leader on regional planning and development in the Provincial North. An assistant professor in the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development at the University of Waterloo, her publications include chapters in Canadian Cities in Transition; Cultural Political Economy of Small Cities; and Regional Development Agencies: The Next Generation. She has also worked on a number of applied research projects, including: Ontario in the Creative Age; Advancing Innovation in Newfoundland and Labrador Project; and The State of the Mining Sector in Northern Ontario.
Ira M. Robinson (1924-2015) was professor emeritus of urban planning at the University of Calgary. He made notable contributions to the planning profession in Canada – something recognized by his induction as a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Planners in 2002. His numerous publications include New Industrial Towns on Canada’s Resource Frontier; Decision-Making in Urban Planning, Urban and Regional Planning in a Federal State: The Canadian Experience (with William Perks); and the first edition of this book. He continued to work on this new edition of Planning Canadian Regions until shortly before his death in Victoria at age 91.
