title: Population turnaround in the Canadian inner city:  contextual factors and social consequences.
abstract: "The paper begins with a brief review of the theoretical arguments and empirical evidence that might be used to explain the emergence, sources and spatial variations of inner-city repopulation. The discussion then examines the various forms of property development that underlie the process of repopulation and the possible origins and potential impacts of each form.  Examples are introduced to illustrate the trends and relationships involved, drawing on selective references from North American and European cities, but with special emphasis on Canadian cities and the recent Toronto experience.  The paper concludes with a brief assessment of the significance of these processes for understanding the changing residential functions and social environments of the inner city."
