January 01, 1970

Larry Stuart Bourne[1][2] FRSC FCIP FRCGS DLitt DES (born December 24, 1939) is a Canadian academic geographer.[3] He has been called a "leading expert on Canadian urban issues."[4] Bourne's academic career has been based in geography/planning at the University of Toronto with interest primarily in North American cities.[5]

Background edit

Bourne was born in London, Ontario. He obtained a B.A. (Hons.) in geography from the University of Western Ontario, in 1961; his thesis title was "A Study in Port Geography: Port Burwell, Ont." He earned an M.A. in Settlement Geography from University of Alberta in 1963 with a thesis entitled "Yellowknife: Its Urban and Regional Economy." In 1966 the University of Chicago awarded him a Ph.D. in urban geography; his thesis title was "Private Redevelopment of the Central City."

Since 1966 Bourne has been associated with the University of Toronto, first as a lecturer, then assistant professor (1966–1969) and associate professor (1969–1973). He became a full professor in 1973. He is currently professor emeritus of urban geography and planning[6] and past director (1996–1998) of the graduate program in planning at the University of Toronto. He also served as director of the University of Toronto's Centre for Urban and Community Studies (1973–1984) and later of the Cities Centre (2007–2008). He currently has continuing appointments as research affiliated faculty with the Global Cities Institute and the School of Cities at the University of Toronto.

His primary research interests are concerned with urban growth dynamics, urban decline, the evolving form and structure of cities in Canada, and the changing nature of inequalities within cities.

He has over 287 associated publications on record at Library and Archives Canada, and is the author or editor of some 20 books and over 250 academic articles, book chapters and professional reports.[7][8]

Bourne is also an expert researcher for The Neptis Foundation.[9] He served as president of the Canadian Association of Geographers from 1993 to 1994, and as president of the North American Regional Science Council from 1994 and 1995. He contributed to the International Geographical Union's Urban Commission continuously since 1980, served as chair from 1984 to 1992 and from 2000 has been an honorary member of the executive committee.

He has been featured on CBC News as an expert on city planning.[10] Bourne is frequently interviewed by the media on issues of current interest related to his areas of expertise including mixed-use building,[11] intensification,[12] social geography[13] and inequality.[14] The Saint John, New Brunswick, Telegraph-Herald reports that "Bourne's expertise has been sought by all levels of government, community organizations and several national and international agencies".[15]

Bourne was profiled in Canadian Geographic (2004) [16] and his work is widely referenced by other authors in his field.[17]

Honours and awards edit

Bourne is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada[18] (RSC), the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS) and the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP), and is a continuing member of the Urban Commission of the International Geographical Union (IGU).

In 2012 Bourne was awarded the International Geographical Union's highest honour, the Lauréat d’honneur.[19] This award honours individuals who have achieved particular distinction or who have rendered outstanding service in the work of the IGU or in international geography and environmental research.[20]

The Canadian Institute of Planners named him a Fellow in 2012.[21] Simcoe Chapter, Lambda Alpha International, chose Bourne as the recipient of their President's Award of Recognition in 2008.[22]

He was awarded the honorary degree of D.Litt. by the University of New Brunswick, Saint John, in 2008.[23]

He received the Massey Medal of the Royal Canadian Geographic Society in 2004[24] with the citation: "Bourne’s contributions to urban-policy debates extend beyond local and national issues. His expertise has been sought by such groups as The World Bank, the International Joint Commission and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.[25]"

The University of Waterloo bestowed upon Bourne the honorary degree of Doctor of Environmental Studies (DES) in 1999.[26] The American Association of Geographers (AAG) awarded Bourne honours in 1985.[27] The Canadian Association of Geographers honoured him with their 1985 Award For Scholarly Distinction In Geography.[19]
