Document Summary
Inequality on an industrial waterfront, hamilton, ontario, 1890 1960. Town planned e. g. faludi zoned residential areas and classified them for different industries in 1947: environmental and social problems were stimulated by economic growth and the plan eventually failed. Urban planners tried to separate residential from industrial zones: however they had very little power as concluded by modern historians, urban planning was seen as mostly capitalist thinking". There was a certain abstractness to planning as planners needed to think about the impact of certain aspects on areas such as: environmental inequalities, race and class of people, legal and policy implications. There was an assessment of social allocation of environmental hazards and amenities, such as beaches, recreational facilities, or waste dumps. This article looks at the interaction between the planning impulse, the development of hamilton"s waterfront, and issues of social justice and environmental inequality in the industrial city. There was a definite focus on the waterfront and environmental change.
