520 |a"Evidence of the proliferation of home-based businesses in Canadian cities is apparent by the degree to which office supply and computer retailers are marketing specifically to this segment of the business community, by the number of ‘How To’ books on the book shelves, and by the number of license applications being received by municipalities across the country. Recent nationwide surveys of the numbers of home businesses suggest that our neighbourhoods are increasingly places of paid work as well as places to live and raise our children. No longer can we evaluate the economy of a community by looking at the number of office towers or the number of manufacturing plants. Despite these changes, very little research has been conducted that examines how these new types of businesses are fitting into our communities. What are their relationships with the existing commercial businesses, with the local government and with the rest of the neighbourhood? How is local economic development and planning policy adapting to the inevitable conflicts and opportunities that are created when something new and different emerges in our urban society? And finally, how important are the characteristics of the place, or context, in shaping these relationships? This CMHC-sponsored study, entitled “Home-Based Businesses, Local Economic Development and Land Use Policy: Conflicts And Opportunities”, begins to answer these questions"--Executive summary.
