“In 2009, and for the fifth year in a row Calgary, Toronto, and Vancouver,
Canada, ranked at the top 25 of the Mercer Quality of Life survey yet there
is little understanding of what makes those three cities the most liveable
in the world and furthermore there is little to differentiate among them.
Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto are the largest Anglophone metropolitan
regions of Canada and exemplify the richness of the many processes that
set the civic culture of large contemporary cities. Yet, each city’s civic
culture varies and so do their sustainable policies:</font><font size=3>

<br>
This paper focuses on what drives the social and economic construction
of each three large city, pointing to the complex linkages that tie agents
to their environment. It questions whether power arises from strong popular
control and local democratic and participatory values, where group interactions
produce and co-produce sustainable policies, and specifically question
the relationship between citizen engagement and the production and reproduction
of urban sustainable policies. The paper looks at regime openness as more
or less stable, and questions each city’s socially and fiscally progressive
or rather conservative and pro-development culture. It documents those
cities activist, tolerant and entrepreneurial civic cultures? What emerges
is a contrasted picture of the civic culture of each city, and of their
sustainable policies.”</font><font size=3> </font><font size=2 face="Century Schoolbook"><br>
