Assignment 2: Template Name: Harjot Kaur student number: 8828007 Questions about the “Ethnic” Enclaves Article In the space below each question, type your answers ensuring that they appear in single-spaced format using 12-point font. Each answer should be approximately 50-80 words in length. 1. Why are the vast majority of “ethnic” enclaves now located in sprawling suburbs? (1 mark) The great majority of "ethnic" enclaves are now located in large suburbs, owing to lower land costs and more affordable housing. Larry Beasley, the former co-director of planning in the City of Vancouver, stated that immigrants prefer to relocate to locations where land is less expensive, and housing is accessible. This suggests that suburban regions have more cheap housing alternatives than metropolitan centers, making them appealing locations for people settling in Canada. Furthermore, suburban locations frequently have more land to construct ethnic communities, creating self-contained neighborhoods with restaurants, supermarkets, and other facilities tailored to distinct cultural backgrounds. 2. The “ethnic” enclave of Markham is quite prosperous. It was created in the 1990s. What are 2 economic factors that are changing the prosperity of “ethnic” enclaves today? Why should this be of concern? (2 marks) The success of "ethnic" enclaves, such as Markham, is threatened due to two major factors. For starters, many newcomers to Canada earn less than native Canadians. For example, immigrants who arrived between 2000 and 2004 got only 61 cents for every dollar earned by Canadian-born residents. This makes it difficult for them to buy necessities and limits their opportunity to better their lives. Second, the cost of land in metropolitan areas, where these enclaves frequently exist, continues to rise. This implies that it is growing more costly for businesses to rent or acquire premises in these locations, forcing them to shut down or relocate. This is concerning because it may increase hardship for people in these areas and the loss of the distinct cultural feel they contribute to Canada. As a result, finding solutions to assist these communities survive in the face of these problems is critical.

3. The article quotes a Toronto city planner as follows: “Ethnic areas…(are)… to some extent a sign of social dysfunction rather than a sign of social integration.” Why do you agree or disagree with this statement? (5 marks) I disagree that ethnic regions indicate social disintegration rather than social cohesion. Ethnic enclaves, or communities where individuals of the same cultural origin live together, are highly significant and valuable. They make newcomers feel more at ease in a new nation by offering familiar surroundings, support networks, and services in their native language. These neighborhoods also keep cultural traditions and customs alive, allowing people to enjoy their history and pass it on to subsequent generations. Far from being a nuisance, these enclaves add to a city's diversity and complexity by providing inhabitants and visitors with opportunities to experience diverse cultures through food, festivals, and customs. Furthermore, ethnic enclaves frequently become economic hotspots, drawing businesses, visitors, and investors. This has the potential to provide job opportunities and boost the local economy. Furthermore, these neighborhoods can help overcome population divides by encouraging understanding, tolerance, and collaboration. People from various origins living together learn from one another and frequently create deep ties, breaking down prejudices and building social cohesiven
