The correspondence between the urban system and the economic base of Canada's regions / Michel Boisvert. : EC22-60/1978E-PDF

"Despite the economic advantages generally associated with the concentration of activity in large urban agglomerations, not all of Canada's regions would gain equally from this phenomenon because of major differences in their economic base. A region's industrial structure in fact imposes certain constraints on its urban system. The study explains this aspect by dividing the country into twenty regions and classifying them in one of three categories: resource region; transformation region or fabrication region. Other factors capable of changing the operation of an urban system are examined as well, such as a region's bio-physical characteristics and the traces left by previous stages of economic development. Elements of strategy are proposed, such as the greater integration of primary industries in resource regions, the formation of growth poles in transformation regions and the strengthening of peri-metropolitan satellites in fabrication regions"--Summary.
