“…Ce glissement, dont Montréal a été acteur et témoin, s'inscrit dans les transformations urbaines et la reconversion des économies de la seconde moitié du 20 e siècle 98 . L'émergence du patrimoine urbain doit d'abord se comprendre dans la dynamique du questionnement de l'avenir économique des centres-villes, mais aussi dans celle d'une crise du logement dans les quartiers centraux 99 . De nouvelles approches pour agir dans la ville, que ce soit par l'animation sociale ou l'advocacy planning, transformèrent le rapport de force entre les citoyens, les promoteurs et les autorités tout en favorisant la médiatisation des conflits urbains.…”

En 1954, le dépôt du plan Dozois prévoyait l’élimination d’une zone de taudis en vue de la construction du projet d’habitation sociale connue sous le nom des Habitations Jeanne-Mance. En se lançant dans une telle opération, la Ville de Montréal posait un premier geste concret pour enrayer un mal qui affectait les quartiers centraux : la dépréciation du cadre bâti ancien. Le geste peut également s’inscrire dans la genèse d’un mouvement pour la conservation du patrimoine. En explorant l’histoire de l’aménagement urbain à Montréal jusqu’à la création de l’association Sauvons Montréal en 1973, il est possible d’observer la transformation du regard posé sur l’environnement bâti. La juxtaposition des notions de taudis et de patrimoine permet en effet de se placer au coeur d’une mutation qui transforma radicalement la manière d’aménager la ville.In 1954, the newly tabled Dozois plan provided for the elimination of a slum area to make way for the building of the Habitations Jeanne-Mance social housing complex. With the launching of such an operation, the City of Montreal took a first concrete step toward curbing an evil that was affecting inner-city neighbourhoods: the depreciation of the old housing stock. This may also be seen as part of an emerging historic preservation movement. By exploring the history of urban planning in Montreal up until the creation of Save Montreal association in 1973, we can observe a transformation in the ways in which the built environment was actually seen. The juxtaposition of notions of slum and heritage places us at the heart of a mutation that radically transformed urban planning once and for all

“…Quebec was an exception: the Garden City concept remained a model for elite suburbs built by private developers despite a National Housing Act passed in 1938, implemented by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation in 1944 (van Nus 1998). The local Union économique d'habitations, founded in 1940, attempted to develop a provincial Garden Cities policy without success (Choko, Collin, andGermain 1986-1987).…”

The Routledge Handbook of Planning History offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary overview of planning history since its emergence in the late 19th century, investigating the history of the discipline, its core writings, key people, institutions, vehicles, education, and practice. Combining theoretical, methodological, historical, comparative, and global approaches to planning history, The Routledge Handbook of Planning History explores the state of the discipline, its achievements and shortcomings, and its future challenges.A foundation for the discipline and a springboard for scholarly research, The Routledge Handbook of Planning History explores planning history on an international scale in thirty-eight chapters, providing readers with unique opportunities for comparison. The diverse contributions open up new perspectives on the many ways in which contemporary events, changing research needs, and cutting-edge methodologies shape the writing of planning history.

“…Short on specifics, the CMM plan is primarily conceptual, reflecting care not to tread on municipal land use planning responsibilities. The high density of its built environment pre-dating 1971 (the inner city and older suburbs) in comparison with the other investigated metropolitan regions may have also played a role in the limited commitment to a nodal strategy in Montreal (Choko et al ., 1987; Filion et al ., 2004; Legault, 1989). While, to ensure the viability of their rapid transit projects, Toronto and Vancouver were compelled to complement them with intensification strategies—which included nodal development—the situation was different in Montreal where higher density in the pre-1971 urban perimeter made it possible for metro lines to follow density without the need for further intensification (Legault, 2002).…”

The paper centres on the content of metropolitan-scale plans of the six largest Canadian urban regions. Plans in all these regions promote intensification and alternatives to automobile use, and thus adhere to smart growth and sustainability principles. In all cases save one, reliance on nodal development is the preferred manner of achieving intensification and ensuring its co-ordination with public transit services. Meanwhile, however, results point to differences in the stage of development of metropolitan planning strategies. The paper concludes by reflecting on the wide adoption of the nodal model in metropolitan plans. It interprets this popularity as the outcome of the ability of nodes to achieve intensification and reduced car reliance objectives, while conforming to prevailing planning and institutional capacity. The effectiveness of the nodal approach and other broad metropolitan planning concepts rests in their capacity to procure a metropolitan structure for the other scales at which urban planning is practised.
