摘要：

From 1971 to 1979, the Ministry of State for Urban Affairs operated in Canada. Utilizing a policy networks and communities framework, this study identifies five governmental and non-governmental actors who contributed to the rise and fall of the Ministry of State for Urban Affairs. Through episodic content analysis of newspaper coverage of Canadian urban issues and government publications, this study revisits previous accounts of the Ministry of State for Urban Affairs lifespan, creating a more holistic analysis of its inception and downfall. It is concluded that urban advocacy groups played a large role in placing urban affairs on the public agenda, compelling politicians to respond and that the Ministry of State for Urban Affairs ultimately crossed into provincial jurisdiction, causing the provinces to object to its existence.
