Digitized edition from print [produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada]. "November 1985." Includes bibliographical references (pages 85-96). "The paper examines the reasons for, and the effects of, the rate of consumption of good agricultural land by urban development in the economic heartland between Windsor and Québec City. it finds that, while population growth rates are falling, the rate of expansion of urban areas continues to increase, but more slowly than in the recent past. It suggests that the heartland is contracting to central and southwestern Ontario, where the loss of agricultural land is increasingly pronounced. The paper projects current trends to the end of the century and predicts that more than one million hectares of Canada's best agricultural land will be consumed by urban development between 1970 and 2001. The paper proposes specific improvements to the current methods of monitoring land use and a model for a more prudent operation of the land market"--Abstract. Includes abstract in French.
