In the decade following World War II, Winnipeg and its neighbouring municipalities
experienced rapid population and industrial growth. In fact, by the mid-1950’s, the
Greater Winnipeg Area
was showing symptoms of the
“metropolitan problem”
then evident in cities worldwide.
Winnipeg and its neighbours needed a way to sort out conflicting municipal practices,
tax structures and attitudes to growth and change in order to move forward.
