Proceedings: v, pp. 55; ill., digital file. ; On April 18, 1990, a one-day Workshop was organized by the Institute of Urban Studies to discuss issues and matters related to Plan Winnipeg's Urban Limit Line. The Workshop was sponsored by the Manitoba Department of Urban Affairs and the Manitoba Home Builders' Association. The Institute of Urban Studies considered the Workshop to be timely for two reasons: i. Ever since the institution of the Urban Limit Line, it has been a contentious issue among the various actors involved (City officials, the Government of Manitoba, surrounding rural municipalities, and the housing and urban development industry). ii. The City of Winnipeg has initiated a review of Plan Winnipeg. Since the Urban Limit Line is considered to be an important part of Plan Winnipeg, it would be useful to assess the issues identified, so that those involved in drawing up a new Plan Winnipeg could use the insights from the Workshop in formulating the new Plan. ; Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation; Government of Manitoba; Canadian Home Builders' Association

Report: 10 p., digital file ; The objective of this project will be to design, establish and implement a system of two-way information flow to enable policymakers in government to understand the perceptions and reactions of people on a range of policy proposals and programs, to provide, through improved information, greater use and effectiveness of government programs,to transmit needs and concerns of people in their efforts to cope with a changing urban environment. Built into this system will be mechanisms to ensure co-operation between the different jurisdictions of government and a means of developing consultation. It is felt that the urban forum concept properly designed and implemented would lead to more effective programs and policies by means of greater citizen, group and tri-level involvement, in the formulation and acceptance of programs and policies.

conference proceedings: vi., 53 pp., Digital file. ; The Prairie Urban Congress was held at a very opportune time. Municipalities and community-based organizations currently face a difficult set of circumstances. The federal government has been devolving housing responsibilities to lower levels of government and this devolution has, often by default, resulted in new roles and responsibilities at the municipal and community levels. Senior levels of government are providing very little funding for new affordable housing and community development initiatives. Municipalities and community-based groups are facing increasing pressure to provide housing and associated support services for low and moderate-income families. At the same time, municipalities face increasing resistance to higher taxes to provide such services. Reports from the five urban municipalities attending the Congress indicate there are different housing and community development circumstances in each centre. Nevertheless, they have a great deal in common, particularly a need for more affordable housing and a struggle to cobble together the resources necessary to provide this housing. It is obvious from the information provided in this report that there are many creative and effective initiatives in the five centres but the amount of new housing provided is modest compared to the growing levels of need. The discussions also illustrate a need for capacity building at the neighbourhood level so communities can become more involved in decisions surrounding housing and community development initiatives. ; Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Human Resources Development Canada, City of Winnipeg, Province of Manitoba, Western Economic Diversification Canada
