A new study illustrates the diversity of major urban centers in Canada.
"Canadas urban system is characterized by growing diversity. This diversity is manifested in a number of ways: the percentage of foreign born, differences in income, housing characteristics, rates of population growth and levels of education just to name a few. The following brief discussion and accompanying charts of key indicators highlight some of the differences that exist between Canadas 25 major metropolitan centres. The analysis also illustrates the position of Winnipeg for each indicator that is profiled. The analysis is based on the 2001 census data with some indicators illustrating change over the 1996-2001 period. The discussion suggests a growing concentration of Canadas population in the major metropolitan centres, particularly the largest of these centres."
