This viewpoint reports on a multidisciplinary panel held at the 2012 CAG/Congress meeting that brought together a number of researchers with important expertise on census-related issues.

Journey-to-work studies have repeatedly found that women have shorter work trips than do men. We argue here that this finding can be interpreted in terms of the evolving relationship between (1) the gender division of labor in household production and (2) the position of women in the labor market. We analyze changes in home-to-employment distances...

The longstanding debate around the merits of promoting social class mix in urban neighbourhoods has taken a new twist in recent times. A transatlantic and neoliberal convergence of policy advice, supported by the ‘neighbourhood effects’ thesis, makes a case for addressing deep poverty by spatially deconcentrating it, inter alia , by gentrification....

Objective. To explore how older people who are "aging in place" are affected when the urban neighbourhoods in which they are aging are themselves undergoing socioeconomic and demographic change. Methods. A qualitative case study was conducted in two contrasting neighbourhoods in Montréal (Québec, Canada), the analysis drawing on concepts of social...

résumé ¡ Pour les résidents qui vieillissent, le quartier gagne en importance. Dans une dynamique de déprise associée au grand âge, les géographies personnelles diminuent. Les relations sociales tendent alors à se restreindre au quartier qui fournit un sentiment de sécurité. C’est pourquoi les gérontologues favorisent le vieillir chez soi. Toutefoi...

Le discours sur la mixité sociale programmée en milieu résidentiel a refait surface, notamment dans les programmes de revitalisation de quartiers anciens à forte concentration de pauvreté. En se basant sur une étude des discours des divers intervenants ayant contribué à la réalisation du projet Lavo dans le quartier Hochelaga à Montréal, dans le ca...

Social Mixing or Social Inclusion? Montreal Tinkering in a Game of Multiple Actors In this article we offer a reading of the history of public interventions promoting social mix as an element of housing policies in Montréal (province of Quebec, Canada), focussing on key moments and illustrative projects, which put the principle of social mix into p...

This paper contributes to the debate on the role of public policy in gentrification through a case study of three phases of proactive promotion of residential intensification, especially to increase homeownership in central neighbourhoods in the City of Montréal (Québec, Canada). This case is used to explore the following questions: Where municipal...

This article offers an historical-geographical account of how an aging newsprint mill located in Gatineau, in the Outaouais region of western Québec, with serious obstacles to cost-effective production, came to be chosen for a complete in situ technological reorganization project in the early 1990s. This apparent paradox is explained by locating th...

The qualities of gentrifying neighbourhoods – discursive practices of municipalities and purchasers: the case of Montréal. The gentrification of inner-city neighbourhoods can no longer be seen simply as the result of the accumulation of individual decisions by “new middle class” households. It is often stimulated by the State, by the real estate in...

Abstract This paper looks at a key aspect of new immigrants’ settlement experience— finding a home. Specifically, we examine the factors determining the propensity, over the first six months of settlement, to remain in or move on from the first residence occupied since arrival in Canada. We consider in turn the effects of various household and indi...

The discourse of urban policy targeted to revitalization of inner cities is increasingly marked by advocacy of 'social mix' or 'tenure mix' at the neighbourhood scale. After reviewing the various urban policy contexts concerned, and the findings of pertinent scholarly research, this paper addresses a particularly slippery area of social mix discour...

This essay explores the changing shape of Anglo-American feminist urban geography, through a discussion of material published in Gender, Place and Culture and elsewhere over the past decade. We contextualize this discussion in relation to the development of feminist urban studies since the 1970s, showing its enduring commitment to work across tradi...

This paper attempts to convey a sense of the increasing importance of the population question for the future of Canada and its social geographies. This future will be shaped as much by changes in population processes and living conditions as by economic and political factors. Specifically, four transformations are rippling through the country's soc...

The growing prevalence of shift work and non-standard working hours is challenging many taken-for-granted notions about family and household life. This article examines how rotating shift schedules shape household strategies with regard to childcare and unpaid domestic work. In 1993-94 in-depth interviews were conducted with 90 predominantly male n...

It has been amply demonstrated in the literature that the decade of the 1980s was a crucial one as regards what Ley (1996) terms the "shuffling of command and control" in the Canadian urban system. Toronto's position at the summit of the Canadian urban-economic hierarchy became more firmly entrenched than ever before, with the region increasing its...

Little attention has been given to the implications of the dramatic growth of the dual-earner family form for urban social geography. This paper reviews the main themes of existing literature across various disciplines, drawing out their pertinence to urban-geographical questions. Notably, and through the mediation of gender dynamics, the two-earne...

This paper draws on research conducted in a larger research project the general objective of which is to enhance understanding of the settlement experiences of immigrant women in Montréal. Through qualitative interviews with some fifty women who immigrated from Central America, India, Poland and Vietnam between the mid-1980s and the early 1990s, th...

Le processus d'émigration produit un profond bouleversement des liens interpersonnels. L'arrivée dans un nouveau pays oblige à une reconstruction souvent presque complète des réseaux de sociabilité et d'entraide. Par l'entremise de l'étude des communautés ethniques, des chercheurs et des chercheuses ont mis en évidence l'importance des affinités et...

Résumé L'augmentation du taux de participation des femmes à la main-d'œuvre modifie considérablement la morphologie et la géographie sociale des agglomérations urbaines. Une hypothèse mettant en rapport la progression marquée du nombre de couples en emploi et la hausse de la diversité socio-professionnelle des quartiers urbains où résident ces coup...

The massive growth of two-earner couples may considerably modify the social morphology of cities. It has been suggested that the growth and spread of this family form should increase the social heterogeneity and, especially, the occupational diversity of urban neighbourhoods where it takes place. An analysis of the relationships between the geograp...

This chapter presents a conceptually- and historically-grounded account of state policy concerning childcare in the province of Quebec, Canada, and examines how access to the current array of "organized' services and "informal' childcare arrangements is determined in three Montreal neighbourhoods.

This article examines access to before- and after-school childcare services in the Montreal neighbourhoods; both are socially- and ethnically-diverse, but while one is experiencing some gentrification, the other is undergoing déclassement. Using interview findings, it explores how the complex interplay of labour market position, family structure, e...

This article attempts to clarify some conceptual issues with respect to childcare services and their accessibility to different groups of potential users. It is argued that conceptualizations based on the concept of [`]collective consumption' have severe shortcomings for the study of childcare provision, not least among which is the fact that most...

Gender relations can be actively constitutive of the new fractions of the labor force, and of the formation of some of these fractions into "gentrifiers', depending on the particular characteristics of the advanced tertiary employment structure of the city in question.

Dans le débat sur les causes de la gentrification, la géographie urbaine d'inspiration marxiste a récemment commencé à analyser les liens entres les transformations économiques globales et la production d'une « nouvelle classe moyenne » dans les quartiers centraux des grandes métropoles. Cependant, cette approche continue de reléguer au second plan...
