Abstract

This article reflects on the results of metropolitan governance restructuring in Canada’s largest city, Toronto, during the 'long 1990s’, the time period roughly between the collapse of international property markets in the late 1980s and the events of 9/11/01. We alsodiscuss more recent developments including the establishment of more moderately liberal and social democratic administrations in Ontario and Toronto. Based on this context, we develop our arguments about globalization and unequal re‐scalings, and the re‐territorialization of political action and social movements. Through a discussion of the search for new 'fixes’ at the city‐regional scale in Toronto, particularly in the sectors of competitiveness, transportation and the environment, we highlight how social movement demands have been rearticulated in the period following revisions of municipal governance mechanisms such as the debates about the municipal charter in Toronto.
