Summary: The purpose of this report is to help us understand the underlying health of Canada's cities and communities in 2012. Given the scope and complexity of the question, this report does not pretend to be comprehensive or to give the last word on the issue. It is just one contribution to an important and pressing conversation. The report is structured in two parts. Part One reviews the underlying causes of the growing challenges that have played out in Canada's cities and communities during the past two-and-a-half decades. It looks at the progress Canada has made in addressing these issues in recent years, and examines current trends to see where our cities and communities are headed and what new challenges they will face. Part Two looks at the state of intergovernmental cooperation in Canada, and reviews the progress Canada has made on that front over the years.
