Abstract

Between 1996 and 2001 almost half of the cities in Canada lost population. This uneven pattern of growth prompted an examination of the English-language urban geography, planning and policy-related academic literature, which determined that Canadian urban academic journals fixated on large, growing metropolitan areas. Revisiting this literature a decade later, large cities have continued to dominate the academic discourse. Although articles dedicated to smaller and mid-sized cities are still relatively underrepresented in the literature, research focusing on more than one size of urban area has grown tremendously reflecting an emerging interest in regional connectivity and a rise in the perception of urban areas as systems, rather than individual entities.
