What does it mean to live in a small city? Metropolises tend to get a lot of attention, but many Canadians spend their lives in significantly smaller urban centres. Social issues in smaller cities are fueled by the same systemic problems faced in larger centres, and there’s some important work being done to address these problems. In this edition, we examine how action research explores issues around critiquing and reconceiving community in small cities.
