City

In Canada, "city" is a broad, generic term usually referring to an urbanized area. The size of this area, its economic base, social character and form of local government may be different in each province or territory because Municipal Government derives its authority from the provincial legislature, and in each province the conditions that must exist before an area may be classified as a city differ. As a result, it is simpler to examine the process of Urbanization itself, defined as the generation and spread of characteristic features of urban life. The demographic trend toward urbanization in Canada began well before Confederation and still continues at a rapid pace. Today, 80 per cent of Canadians live in urban areas, meaning cities, towns, villages or unincorporated settlements with populations greater than 1,000 persons, or in built-up fringes of incorporated areas.

City Parks

Parks were originally defined (following the British example) as the private grounds of a gentleman's estate. Public parks were not an integral element of the landscapes of the earliest Canadian cities and towns. The city park, as we know it, actually entered North America during the 1830s through the "rural cemetery" movement. These burial grounds were landscaped, and served as quiet places to stroll or to have family picnics. Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto, designed by H.A. Engelhardt in 1874, was one such area.
