  • The Prince Rupert Container Port and Its Impact on Northern British Columbia
    Canadian Political Science Review 2(4) December 2008 Transformation, Transportation or Speculation? The Prince Rupert Container Port and its Impact on Northern British Columbia Gary N. Wilson and Tracy Summerville (University of Northern British Columbia)1 Abstract2 Much of the discussion around the port development in Prince Rupert has focused on the positive impacts that the container port will have on the regional economy. As the opening quote suggests, the port is being hailed a piece of “transformational infrastructure”, creating numerous opportunities for economic diversification in northern British Columbia. In this sense, therefore, it is widely expected that the container port will help to move the northern economy beyond the type of traditional resource dependency outlined by scholars such as Harold Innis (Drache, 1995). This article argues, however, that there are at least two other potential outcomes or scenarios concerning the port’s development and its impact on northern British Columbia which call into question some of the assumptions made by the port’s proponents. First, the port might be a great success as a gateway to a transportation corridor that stretches across western Canada and into the United States, but have little or no positive impact on the northern British Columbia economy. Second, the port might not live up to the expectations that have been set nationally or locally neither as a transportation gateway nor as a piece of transformational infrastructure “The port has been described not only as transportation infrastructure, but as ‘transformational infrastructure’ because it’s going to transform northern BC’s economy.” (Vancouver Sun, January 14, 2005).

  • ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AROUND INTERMODAL FACILITIES in CANADA William P
    ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AROUND INTERMODAL FACILITIES IN CANADA William P. Anderson and Sarah M. Dunphy, University of Windsor Introduction Freight distribution systems have changed significantly due in large part to the globalization of production. Expanding international trade has led to growth in both marine container shipments and air cargo. This has led, in turn, to development of new systems of surface transportation whereby goods in international trade move from their points of origins to marine ports and airports and then ultimately to their points of destination. These systems are characterized by the emergence of spatial clusters of logistics-intensive activities that serve a variety of functions. (For a review see Sheffi, 2012.) Some of these clusters have become engines of regional economic growth. Based on cases like Alliance Texas Global Logistics Hub and Centerpoint Intermodal Center in Illinois, each of which has close to 30,000 direct employees, many regional governments and develop- ment authorities have defined the establishment of clustered trans- portation and logistics activities as major components of regional economic plans. The proliferation of recent and ongoing feasibility studies points to the prominence of logistics clusters in development planning in the US and Canada (McMaster, 2009; Boile et al., 2009; De Cerreño et al., 2008; Harrison et al., 2005). This paper presents an initial exploration of the potential of logistics clusters as regional economic growth engines in Canada. It begins with a review of the “inland port” concept, whereby clusters develop around intermodal facilities connected to ocean ports. This is followed with a review of the main ocean ports and intermodal 1 Anderson & Dunphy facilities in Canada.

  • Alberta Cities at the Crossroads: Urban Development Challenges and Opportunities in Historical and Comparative Perspective
    Volume 7 • Issue 12 • May 2014 ALBERTA CITIES AT THE CROSSROADS: URBAN DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN HISTORICAL AND COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE Zack Taylor, University of Toronto Scarborough Marcy Burchfield, Neptis Foundation Anna Kramer, Neptis Foundation SUMMARY Fuelled by the province’s booming energy sector, Alberta’s two largest cities have experienced unprecedented levels of growth. As a result, they face a choice about how to best accommodate their expanding populations — whether to grow out or grow up. For decades, Calgary and Edmonton accommodated almost all growth through the former, suburban expansion. Indeed, the postwar period was marked by a focus on contiguous outward growth to ensure housing affordability and the efficient use of infrastructure, a policy that was widely supported by both the public and the development industry. In Calgary, at least, this has started to change. Beginning in the late 1990s, the city shifted its focus to livability and sustainability, a move that saw policies introduced to promote urban intensification and greater transit use. While this shift has proven popular in many quarters, it also has its fair share of detractors, including many in the development industry. In Edmonton, a city where growth has been relatively slower and authority over urban development dispersed among several local governments, this policy shift has not occurred.
