The overall purpose of this study is to provide new insights into the Canadian urban system through an analysis of economic activities at the inter-urban scale. The thesis analyses the urban system in terms of secondary economic activities, more specifically through the manufacturing industries of 41 Canadian cities with a population of over 30,000 in 1961. The investigation contains elements of traditional classification oriented and economic base approaches to urban economic functional analysis. However, an attempt is made to use the idea of the urban system to provide a more productive analysis of inter-urban economic functions. Correlation and bonding techniques are used to establish patterns of manufacturing similarities, upon which to base further analysis. Eight sets of cities and five distinct types of manufacturing profile are identified for the 41 cities, and the structural-spatial regularities identified are felt to be consistent with a center-periphery model of the general overall manufacturing structure of the Canadian economy. The analysis is pursued in terms of the investigation of the relationships between predominant manufacturing similarities of cities and various aspects of city size and location. Forward stepwise regression was considered an appropriate statistical procedure for the purpose of examining these relationships. From this analysis similarities between the cities are partially related to factors of size, relative location and historical evolution. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate

There appears to be a need for communication between community and regional planners and air pollution control specialists since atmospheric pollution has become one of the chief problems of the present day. A number of professions have approached the study of air pollution and its control in unique ways. The hypothesis is advanced that the control of industrial location by all levels of government in a cooperative manner, taking into account the applicable meteorological factors, would significantly reduce potential atmospheric pollution. Air pollution existed from the earliest times, but it was not until 1273 that legal control was recognized as necessary. After the industrial revolution and a series of acute health episodes in the twentieth century the various effects of atmospheric contamination were discovered. The physical planner has not sufficiently recognized the problem, and should strive to make clean air a goal towards which the planning process is directed. In Canada the British North America Act allocates the responsibility for atmospheric pollution control between the federal and provincial jurisdictions. Engineering control aspects may be given legal force by either government depending on the pollutant source, though the provincial authority appears much broader in scope. Technical abatement methods are complex and costly, and are particularly difficult for both the odourless and detectable gases. Costs of recovery may limit abatement solutions beyond 95% indicating that other methods are required. Performance standards are an attempt to enforce the use of such methods through municipal zoning by-laws, though there is some question as to whether they are necessary with good general regulation of emissions. The national and provincial (or state) governments have been chiefly concerned with industrial location from the socio-economic point of view. Local government has continued to be concerned with physical planning through zoning which both protects residents of the area and guides industrial growth. This power derives from the provincial legislatures in Canada, and not from court interpretations of the extent of community power as in the United States. Air zoning is an attempt to employ meteorological data in larger areas, recognizing that urban complexes themselves have a tremendous effect on climate, and that many factors have to be quantified and assessed. Detailed knowledge of area microclimates is considered to be most important in air zoning decisions. The metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and Edmonton illustrate the approach advocated to control atmospheric pollution. Los Angeles has not yet effectively integrated its air pollution control and planning control administrations, the county being responsible for the former and 70 different authorities for the latter. In Edmonton the administrations have been partially integrated, but in the field of major rezoning decisions no liaison exists. An investigation of the hypothesis by means of a quantifiable method, depending on wind direction and distance variables, reveals that locating air pollutant industries in accordance with meteorological factors could significantly lower potential pollution levels. The hypothesis is deficient in that it does not recognize the complementary need for engineering abatement controls. Many other factors are considered in industrial location planning besides air pollution control, the problem really being that it is not usually considered as a factor. The various aspects of the hypothesis are assessed in order to formulate policy recommendations for research, legislation, and control measures. Federal government leadership manifested through a Canada Air Pollution Control Act is advocated, with accompanying provincial Acts making for a total cooperative approach. The goal of clean air would, therefore, be given substance on a national basis. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

This study, which commenced in 1971, is of a comparatively modern industrial township notionally conceived some 25 years ago on ground which, during the War Years, had been 'beneficially occupied' and, in other respects, laid to waste as an Artillary Range. The Range had other strategic advantages in that its necessarily extended shape and position over the epicentres of the minor eruptions that had occurred are of considerable centrallity for industriallists and the labour pools on which they would draw. Pinelands Garden City is on the West boundary and Langa Location on the South boundary of that portion of the Range which became known as Epping Industria No. 1. The predominantly Coloured Areas of Matroosfontein and Elsie's Rivier lay immediately to the East and North-East respectively and the other old established Coloured Area of Athlone, which has since grown enormously, was not far distant to the South. Goodwood, Parow and Bellville lie to the North and North-East. Cape Town City Centre lies approximately 10 kilometres to the West - See Location Plan No. 1.
