Book excerpt: The Canadian model of diversity management is considered a success in the international community, yet the methods by which these policies are adopted by local governments have seldom been studied. Municipalities and Multiculturalism explores the role of the municipality in integrating immigrants and managing the ethno-cultural relations of the city. Throughout the study, Kristin R. Good uses original interviews with close to 100 local leaders of eight municipalities in Toronto and Vancouver, two of Canada's most diverse urban and suburban areas. Grounded by Canada's official multiculturalism policies, she develops a typology of responsiveness to immigrants and ethno-cultural minorities and offers an explanation for policy variations among municipalities. Municipalities and Multiculturalism is an important examination of the differing diversity management methods in Canadian cities, and ultimately contributes to debates concerning the roles that municipal governments should play within Canada's political system.

Book excerpt: "Demographic change and a growing sensitivity to the diversity of urban communities have increasingly led planners to recognize the necessity of planning for diversity. Edited by Michael A. Burayidi, Cities and the Politics of Difference offers a guide for making diversity a cornerstone of planning practice. The essays in this collection cover the practical and theoretical issues that surround this transformation, discussing ways of planning for inclusive and multicultural cities, enhancing the cultural competence of planners, and expanding the boundaries of planning for multiculturalism to include dimensions of diversity other than ethnicity and religion--including sexual and gender minorities and Indigenous communities. The advice of the contributors on how planners should integrate considerations of diversity in all its forms and guises into practice and theory will be valuable to scholars and practitioners at all levels of government."--

Book excerpt: This study explores why and how local leaders in Canada's immigrant magnet city-regions adapt municipal governance structures in response to increasing levels of ethno-cultural diversity. It compares the responsiveness of eight highly diverse urban and suburban municipalities to immigrants and ethno-cultural minorities including: Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton and Markham in the Greater Toronto Area and Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey and Coquitlam in the Greater Vancouver Regional District. Given the novelty of this empirical terrain, the study begins by documenting and evaluating municipal responses and creates a typology of municipal responsiveness to immigrants and ethno-cultural minorities. Then, the dissertation explains why Canadian municipalities vary in their responsiveness to immigrants and ethno-cultural minorities by engaging with the dominant theoretical paradigm of the urban politics literature - urban regime theory. Through detailed case studies, the thesis documents the development of lasting coalitions---urban regimes---in several municipalities. In this way, it demonstrates how some municipalities have managed to develop policy capacity in the settlement and multiculturalism policy fields---despite their tight fiscal constraints---by pooling private sector and public sector resources. The inquiry also looks at factors that shape the way in which urban regimes develop. It develops two categories of ethnic configurations---"biracial" and "multiracial"--And explores how and why these configurations affect urban regime development. The study concludes that, all other things being equal, multiracial municipalities are less responsive to their immigrant populations than biracial municipalities. The analysis also explores the role of the intergovernmental context in municipal responsiveness to immigrants and ethno-cultural minorities. It finds that the province matters a great deal to municipal governance in Canada but in more complex ways than the constitutional relationship between provinces and municipalities would suggest. What is clear at the conclusion of this dissertation is that municipal governments are much more than simple "creatures of provinces". They are important democratic governments that are at the vanguard of social change.
