S a Patterns of urban growth in southwestern and central Ontario and future development choices are explored in a series of three studies released recently by the Ontario Economic Council. Originally prepared for a seminar of the Council's urban affairs committee, the reports were authored by Professor Michael Ray; formerly df Carleton and Waterloo univer- sities and now of the State Univ- ersity of New York at Buffalo; by Donald M. Paterson, com- missioner in charge of the local government review for Muskoka and presently engaged in the Oshawa review for the Ontario Department of Munic lapel Affairs; and by Professor Leonard Gert- ler, director of the School of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Waterloo. Professor Ray, in assessing the growth and form of urban centres in southwestern Ontario argues that the area, bounded by Sarnia-Windsor to the west and Metro Toronto to the east, will continue in the future to be the major focus of population and economic growth. Looking at the region from three different, points of view or "components of spatial form" - heartland - hinterland, urban hierarchy and urban corridor - Professor Ray concludes that the Toronto-Southwestern On- tario region is the centre of a set of converging forces that lead inescapably to the further concentration of population, in- dustry and economic develop- ment. But he warns that these forces of growth present a danger to the physical environment. "The urban growth process cannot be revised or halted; but a better understanding of urban growth forces may give us more chance to modify the urban forms they create and more hope to improve the relationship between man and his physical environment." In this paper on "Economic and Other Implications of De- velopment Policy," Donald Paterson raises nine major de- velopment policy issues and sets them out as questions that pose two competing alternatives. For example, he asks whether we "should aim at the maximum amount of development, or • its balanced geographical distribut- ion?" Having posed the issues as questions, the author then goes on to discuss each question from a political, social and economic point of view. The purpose of the paper, as Mr. Paterson sug- gests, is to force the reader to examine not only the need for essential trade-offs between al- ternatives, but also to broaden the consideration of each issue. In short, Mr. Paterson pre- sents a multi-dimensional set of problems which must be solved, not in isolation, but as part of a single problem. The answers given must, therefore, be inter- nally consistent in terms of the social, economic and po- litical, considerations, and logic- ally consistent with the answers given to all other issues. In planning the seminar, thee Urban Development Committee of the Ontario Economic Council decided that it would assist their discussion if they had a "plan" for the development of the area under consideration. They realized that such a plan could not be precise in detail but rather impressionistic. At the same time they wanted an over- view that was consistent with the trends and with the reality of the area. This very difficult assignment was given to Professor Len Gertler. Professor Gertler provides a conceptual framework for the future development of south- western Ontario. The central ••core of the concept "is a second major east-west transportation facility, extending from Chicago across Michigan and Lake Huron, through Sarnia to Goderich, and then westward to Midland, and westward along the edge of the northern recreation hinterland.. land extending to Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City." He adds that Ontario should begin its effort to reconstruct urban development patterns by a policy decision to conserve limited and fundamental economic and landscape resources, the first being agricultural land.
