The authors address some of the fundamental paradoxes at the core of the city's dilemma: How does the city reconcile its identity as a French window on North America and a bilingual, increasingly multicultural metropolis? How can its economy, currently undergoing a successful transformation into a high-tech hotbed, still suffer from high unemployment? How can a city that is seemingly allergic to urban planning, that has such a long and cold winter and that remains divided between two cultural and linguistic majorities be so frequently ranked one of the world's most livable cities?

Summary:
Grande voie de communication traversant du nord au sud le cœur géographique de Montréal, le boulevard Saint-Laurent témoigne de plus de trois siècles d’histoire dans la ville. En une cascade de transformations et de renversements spectaculaires, l’artère a incarné successivement toutes les facettes de la montréalité, du rural à l’urbain, des formes primitives d’industrialisation au multimédia. Porte d’entrée de l’immigration, fenêtre ouverte sur le monde, refuge de toutes les marginalités, la "Main" a aussi été le creuset où ont été incarnés pour la première fois au Québec la rencontre des cultures et le métissage des identités. À travers ce vaste et profond brassage d’idées, dont le boulevard Saint-Laurent a été porteur tout au long de son histoire, se profile le passage de Montréal et du Québec tout entier à la modernité. Dans le brouhaha de ses trottoirs et la cohue de ses intersections sont en effet apparus de grands courants de société dont nous sommes aujourd’hui les héritiers, comme la libération des femmes, la syndicalisation des ouvriers et la lutte pour la dignité humaine. La "Main" a aussi été un réservoir de talents artistiques et un terrain d’expérimentation pour de nouvelles formes d’expression comme le cinéma, le théâtre yiddish, la chanson francophone et le burlesque québécois.

Manufacturing Montreal : the making of an industrial landscape, 1850 to 1930

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
In "Manufacturing Montreal" Robert Lewis provides a detailed historical geographic account of a major North American city's industrial landscape from the beginnings of industrialization to the Great Depression. Challenging the traditional view that urban expansion due to industrial decentralization is a twentieth-century phenomenon, Lewis demonstrates that the process of industrial decentralization has been ongoing since the 1850s. Lewis's overall thesis is that the economic and social imperatives underlying industrial capitalism periodically reshaped the manufacturing geography of Montreal, as it did in many other North American cities. Time and again, the move of factories to the urban fringe shaped the social geography of the city by creating working-class residential neighborhoods. A particular strength of the book is its detailed examination of the role that utilities, transportation, technological change, investment, political control of land use, and labor markets had in the manufacturing of Montreal's factory districts.
