註釋This report is a valuable resource document on sustainable development initiatives in Canadian cities. Part I of the report provides a brief background to th changes and the increasing support for a new approach to the planning and management of cities. It identifies community, equity, self-determination, integration, balance and diversity as essential principles of a sustainable urban development plan.

The second part of the report provides a comprehensive and concise synthesis of local activities which address environmental concerns. These activities include programmes and policies which address specific environmental issues like atmospheric change, waste management and reduction, water quality, energy conservation, and urban forestry.
