This request is part of a SSHRC-funded academic research project from a Queen's University professor titled "How Canada Became a Suburban Nation: The Role of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation in Reviewing Canadian Community Planning" It is widely acknowledged that Canada is now a "suburban nation", but how did it make the transition from urban to suburban so quickly after World War II? The Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation was established as a federal Crown agency to implement national housing objectives in the post-war recovery period. However, CMHC was also tasked with implementing the federal government's national community planning objectives. The agency played a major role in transforming Canada into a suburban nation by 1980. CMHC reinforced the suburban trajectory by publishing planning handbooks, establishing national standards, seeding a national network of planning schools, importing planners and designing and developing federal lands.Organization: Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
