Publisher Description: An urban green tourism guide to the City of Hamilton, Ontario, packed with photos, maps, and stories about the development of the city. Hamilton has changed since the days when heavy industry employed tens of thousands of workers and provided a substantial tax base. Today's Hamilton is a city of dichotomies: urban and rural, downtown and mountain, rich and poor, a world biosphere and a toxic mess. But its diversity of communities, geographic location, built heritage, infrastructure, and investment opportunities place Hamilton in an enviable position of environmental and economic resilience. This book is the result of a major research project in local economic development at the University of Waterloo. |
