Richard Harris and University Toronto

income populations: In Hamilton, as investment builds and more people flock to the downtown — one that was, for decades, known for its grit — more lower income populations are being pushed out to the peripheral communities such as Stoney Creek or the Mountain, according to Hamilton Spectator. McMaster professor Richard Harris, who co-authored the report, says these are not the traditional areas people think of when they consider poverty in Hamilton. The Neighbourhood Change report is part of a larger project based out of the University of Toronto that looks at the impacts of growing income inequality in neighbourhoods across Canada. But these are where people are settling, or in many cases now, moving. Nestled against the Linc on the west Mountain, it holds a cluster of poorly-maintained high rises. "A lot of them were built for maybe young couples or whatever … people starting out — not low income housing … and that is, in some cases, what they have become," Harris says. Take, for example neighbourhoods like Rolston — the only neighbourhood on the Mountain identified as a "priority" by the city Neighbourhood Action Strategy. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
