Human rights and municipal land use bylaws in Atlantic Canada

Abstract

Human rights are inalienable rights we each possess by virtue of being human. The Atlantic provinces in Canada are the least studied with respect to understanding how much their cities and towns fulfill constitutional and quasi-constitutional human rights obligations in their land use bylaws. This paper aims to answer this question: what are the critical human rights challenges confronting zoning bylaws of Atlantic Canadian cities? Using a mixed methods approach, the study concludes that despite some potential violations of human rights in the region, Atlantic Canadian municipalities are advancing positively on the human rights front, with a number of encouraging developments.
