Conference Board Of Canada: Livable City

Urban Region Dept: But to maintain its momentum, the region has to maintain itself as an attractive place to live, conference board chief economist Glen Hodgson told the Greater Toronto summit, according to The Star. Hodgson said the economy of Greater Toronto, including Oshawa and Hamilton, grew 4 per cent in 2010, and will grow another 3 per cent in 2011. That s faster than the national average of about 2 per cent for 2011 and greater Toronto s economic growth rate will surpass that of every urban region in the country this year, except for booming Calgary, says the Conference Board of Canada. And in some ways I m amazed at how underinvested Toronto has been in maintaining itself as a livable city, he told the summit of community leaders. As reported in the news.
