Isi artikel

The authors discuss municipal autonomy in Toronto and contextualize this debate by analyzing the recent history of governance restructuring in Toronto and Canada's changing state architecture. Specifically, proposals for and conversations about a possible Toronto charter are discussed. On the basis of document research and interviews, the authors present the arguments and politics of the main actors in the charter debate, noting that there is both agreement and disagreement among those interested in the issue about the exact functions, reach, and scope of the charter. The conclusion ties the debate back into the current policy debate on Canada's cities.
