多伦多是北美发展最快的城市地区之一。保护农村景观和残余栖息地的区域努力取得了不同的成功。在20世纪90年代，在橡树岭冰碛（Oak Ridges Moraine）部分地区建造大型住房开发项目的提议引发了重大冲突。橡树岭冰碛是一片沿着城市北方边缘的160公里长的环境敏感土地。经过多年的规划冲突，安大略省政府制定了橡树岭冰碛保护计划，这是安大略立法机构的一项法案。该计划代表了安大略保护规划方法的巨大变化。我们研究的发展和实施的保护计划作为一个例子，在复杂的城市环境中的环境规划政策。与政策参与者的访谈、规划机构文件和地理空间来源的数据被用于对该计划及其执行情况进行分析和讨论。从政策研究的角度来看，《计划》的演变和执行需要分析和监测，以更好地了解如何才能最好地执行这些办法。保护计划标志着安大略政策的变化，实施过程突出了将保护计划付诸实践的挑战。
Toronto is among the fastest-growing urban regions in North America. Regional efforts to preserve rural landscapes and remnant habitat have had variable success. In the 1990s, significant conflict emerged over proposals to build large housing developments on portions of the Oak Ridges Moraine, a 160-km stretch of environmentally sensitive land along the city’s northern edge. After years of planning conflict, Ontario’s provincial government created the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, an Act of the Ontario Legislature. The Plan represents a dramatic change in Ontario’s approach to conservation planning. We examine the development and implementation of the Conservation Plan as an example of environmental planning policy in a complex urban setting. Data from interviews with policy actors, planning agency documents, and geospatial sources are used to construct an analysis and discussion of the Plan and its implementation. From a policy research perspective, the evolution and implementation of the Plan require analysis and monitoring to better understand how such approaches can best be implemented. The Conservation Plan marks a change in policy in Ontario, and the implementation process highlights challenges in putting conservation plans into practice.
