  • Selling the Suburbs: Exploring Representations of Social Diversity in Marketing Media in Markham, Ontario
    Selling the Suburbs: Exploring Representations of Social Diversity in Marketing Media in Markham, Ontario Independent Project By: Katherine Perrott PLAN 6000 For Instructor: Michael Poulton & Advisor: Jill Grant December 2007 Acknowledgements Generous funding support for this project was provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, through a Canada Graduate Scholarship - Master’s. This project stems from a larger research project called “Theory and practice in planning the suburbs”. The principal investigator is Dr. Jill Grant, Dalhousie University. The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada also provides funding for this project. I thank my advisor, Jill Grant, for providing guidance on this project and feedback on earlier drafts. Thank you also to Michael Poulton and my fellow graduate students for offering useful comments following my presentations throughout the semester. Finally, heartfelt thanks to Justin, my supportive husband, and my family who have always believed in me. Executive Summary The southern Ontario landscape is dotted with outdoor billboards and sales centres promoting new residential developments. As farms are converted to suburbia, developers and builders prepare the infrastructure, create detailed plans and begin to shape the look and feel of a future community through marketing material. Advertisements for a new residential development function as a prologue in the story of what a future community will be like: they offer pictures of who will live there, what they will own, what their houses will look like and what the quality of their amenity space will be. Planners on the other hand, also produce visions of what a future community will be like in policy documents such as Official and Secondary Plans.
