This idea, often referred to as poly- or permacrisis, explains how these problems do not happen in isolation and instead often overlap and continue for long periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers outline four ways to understand these crises: how they grow over time; how they affect different places and people; how governments share or shift responsibility; and how people decide what defines a crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of responding to individual emergencies, the authors say cities need to shift toward \u201creparative urbanism,\u201d an approach that focuses on long-term solutions, stronger services and more inclusive decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur research shows that cities benefit when they invest in repairing harm, supporting essential services and giving communities more say in decisions,\u201d notes Keil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on this work, a second study in collaboration with colleagues at York and University of Toronto \u2013 was published in <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/23996544251406474\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Environment and Planning C: Politics and Space<\/em><\/a> looks at how community networks helped protect vital services in response to Ontario's proposal to dissolve Peel Region. It shows that Peel\u2019s service network is already using this kind of care-focused work and how it helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the provincial government tried to split up Peel Region (which includes Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon), it was challenged by the <a href=\"https:\/\/communitymetamorphosis.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Metamorphosis Network<\/a> \u2013 an advocacy coalition representing more than 100 social service groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the plan was announced, these groups shared data, stories and concerns from the community to ensure access to critical services \u2013 especially for racialized and low\u2011income residents who faced the greatest risk of service disruption. The province later stepped back from its proposal, and researchers say this demonstrates the important role community groups play in regional decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhether we look at community groups in Peel responding to sudden funding threats or at the broader idea of \u2018crisis urbanism,\u2019 the message is the same: when people come together, share knowledge and work across sectors, they can repair systems, protect essential services and strengthen how cities are governed,\u201d says Keil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers remain engaged with community dynamics and are currently involved in a follow-up study on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/cityinstitute\/multi-level-crisis-governance-in-canada-and-the-uk-seeing-crisis-governance-like-a-city\/\"
