- catalog abstract ""The World in a City explores Toronto's ability to sustain a civic society in the face of profound demographic change. The essays in this collection highlight the need to pay more attention to certain at-risk groups and stress the importance of adapting policy to fit the changing settlement and clustering patterns of newcomers. Throughout the volume the concepts of social exclusion and integration are examined and employed to analyse the various challenges facing newcomers. The authors' research findings demonstrate that there are many obstacles to providing opportunity for immigrants, such as low resource bases and inadequate service delivery. Together the authors make a convincing case that by providing a level 'playing field' for its newly arrived inhabitants, and recognizing the particular needs of new communities, the city of Toronto can encourage social and economic growth that would be of immense benefit to the community as a whole."--Jacket.".
