History

Jane-Finch was originally developed as a model suburb in the 1960s in response to the rapid urban growth of Toronto. The community was planned to accommodate a socially diverse population and included a substantial amount of public housing, but insufficient thought was given to the social infrastructure needed to sustain community life. Soon after it was established, Jane-Finch was already being portrayed as a hub for crime and social problems, and is often compared to several famous American ghettos such as South Los Angeles, Compton, Harlem, south and west sides of Chicago, and even Houston's Fifth Ward in terms of violence and decay. “Suburbia” redirects here. ...

The 1960s development plans spearheaded by the Ontario Housing Corporation (OHC) coincided with North York Planning Department’s goal of creating a more urban-looking suburb. Known for its series of high-rise buildings and, concomitantly, its above average population density, Jane-Finch experienced astronomical growth from 1961 to 1971 when the population went from 1,300 to 33,000, thereby accounting for more than 40% of the growth in North York (Sakamoto, 1986). In general, urban planners, local politicians, residents of Jane-Finch, and others today are of the opinion that the OHC and North York erred seriously, contributing to rapid population growth in the area without anticipating its negative consequences.

Between 1981 and 2001, the total population of North York grew by 8.7%; higher economic families by 9%, but poor economic families by 80.5%. Poverty intensified in 5 main areas; the most prominent is the Jane-Finch area, where formerly ‘high’ poverty neighbourhoods evolved into four ‘very high’ poverty areas, and where others that had ‘lower’ or ‘moderate’ levels now have ‘high poverty’. By 2001, a major shift had taken place, with the immigrant family population now accounting for 62.4% of the total family population in these communities, while Canadian born made up 37.6%. The immigrants were disproportionately poor, as 65% of the ‘poor’ family persons were immigrants. Between 1981 and 2001, the number of racialized family persons also increased by 219%; and the racialized family population accounted for two thirds of the total family population in higher poverty neighbourhoods. See related articles, Poverty in Canada and Economic impact of immigration to Canada Disproportionate may mean: Not in fair or equal terms; see proportionality. ... The economic impact of immigration to Canada is a much-debated topic in Canada. ...


The resulting fact that so many more children are being raised in higher poverty neighbourhoods today, that their numbers are disproportionately higher than in the city as a whole, and that they make up a growing proportion of the population of higher poverty neighbourhoods highlights the need for an effective action plan. (Jane Finch Neighbourhood Action Plan Report).

Jane and Finch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (761 words)
Jane and Finch is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, centred around the intersection of two arterial roads, Jane Street and Finch Avenue West.
Jane and Finch developed as a "model suburb" in the 1960s, in response to the rapid urban growth that the city was experiencing during this period.
Soon after Jane and Finch was constructed, and the city's "poor," who were mostly recent immigrants, began moving in, the area was already being portrayed as a hub for crime, drug dealing, gang activity, and other social ills.
