    Indeed it’s unlikely that an Amazon warehouse needs to be in a flood zone in Ontario. There are simply no “agglomeration economies” that mean the warehouse needs to be in this particular spot.

    Ford is taking extreme actions to destroy the Lower Duffins Creek Wetland for reportedly an Amazon warehouse. Ford’s actions are a direct threat to flood protection, clean water and small business struggling to compete online.

    Writing a good paper is like playing chess ♟: you have to think ahead, anticipate the issues that will appear down the road and then come back to the main motivation (1st paragraph!) by backward induction. And you need to think strategically and execute tactically.

    The number of bank branches peaked in 2009 and has been declining since then... will the fading glory of those brick-and-mortar branches make way for internet-only banking?

    Thanks Amine! You are right that a good social science theory of the urban poverty trap should have implications for post-industrial cities in the UK, Europe and Asia. This is a very promising research topic.

    I got a copy this morning of this fantastic new book by and , relevant for Baltimore, Detroit, and Pittsburg but also for hard hit Southwestern Ontario and the declining cities of aging Japan. Looking forward to an in-depth dive into a masterpiece.
