In the light of concrete events, issues and debates surrounding major developments in housing and urban planning, this paper examines the political and social "arrangements" brought in view by three sets of issues related to the transformation of the urban space in the Montreal area.

“…In terms of timing, Ville d'Anjou's boom years coincided with a growing interest in middleclass, single-family homes, which occurred later in the Montreal region than in Toronto. 116 From the outset possessed characteristics traditionally associated with both a suburb (isolated residential neighborhoods where automobile transportation was the order of the day) and a city (multifunctionality and a desire to become a regional magnet).

In the inner city, tight private indoor and outdoor space and difficulties in accommodating cars, represented a major inducement for suburbanization.…”

“…Nous faisons l'hypothèse que ce cadre théorique est applicable au cas montréalais, même si le marché du logement est reconnu pour y être moins concurrentiel que dans d'autres villes de taille comparable. Ainsi, Montréal a déjà connu au cours de son histoire des périodes de crise du logement, les ménages situés au bas de l'échelle sociale éprouvant des difficultés à se loger de manière décente, situation ayant mené à l'émergence de formes variées de logement social et communautaire (Choko et al, 1986(Choko et al, , 1987. Par ailleurs, la structuration de l'espace montréalais reflète une concurrence entre différents groupes pour s'approprier les meilleures localisations, ce qui explique entre autres les divisions sociales ancrées de longue date dans le paysage urbain entre les pentes du Mont-Royal et les quartiers ouvriers « en bas de la montagne » (Copp, 1974).…”
