ROADS AND TRANSPORTATION ASSOCIATION OF CANADA ANNUAL CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS. CALGARY, 1975

This paper focuses on the urban-ecological impacts of railway relocation in the affected neighborhoods and communities. The research consists primarily of an analysis of twenty-four case studies of railway relocation in Canadian urban centres and a survey of several cases of anticipated railway relocation projects. In order to better appreciate the problems involved, a look at the historical circumstances of railway development in Canada is done, as well as the legal and statutory aspects which have shaped the urban landscape.
