Neoliberalism and urban planning in Toronto: how seasoned planners adjust to their changing circumstances

John Jackson

International Planning Studies, 2018, vol. 23, issue 2, 144-162

Abstract: This paper examines what 14 senior urban planners working for various planning agencies across metropolitan Toronto said about their work, interpreted through the lens of neoliberalism. Some still draw on the planning values of the old City of Toronto from the 1970s and 1980s, and most, in various ways, seek to push the bounds of contemporary practice. Consideration is given to the possibilities of emergent planning practices beyond the current neoliberal ascendancy in public life.
