Toronto's Recent Waterfront Struggles: Much Ado About Nothing?

Abstract

The article analyses a particular case of jurisdictional conflict in planning and developing Toronto's waterfront at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation and the Toronto Economic Development Corporation seemed to have different ideas about how to develop a site on the East Bayfront, and this article describes struggles between the organizations. It suggests that continuing battles betweeen these organizations is much ado about nothing for the majority of Toronto's diverse working class. http://www.socialistproject.ca/relay/relay09.pdf
