The Borough System of Consolidated MontréAl: Revisiting Urban Governance in a Composite Metropolis

Abstract: In the last decade, new political and institutional arrangements have begun emerging in differing European and North-American metropolises. These new institutional arrangements deal in different ways with the rescaling of jurisdictions in a context of evolving intergovernmental relations, social movements, visions of urbanity and mobilization, urban public policies, etc. This article is about the case of Montre´al (Quebec, Canada). This case is important because from 1996 to 2004 Montre´al experienced intense … Show more

“…On the one hand, through the creation of a new infra-municipal level, the borough, and a city-wide mayor elected by direct universal suffrage, this reform of municipal structures made Montreal one of the most decentralized cities in the world (Collin and Robertson, 2005;Latendresse, 2006). In addition, once Montreal's central services had allocated funds between nineteen boroughs, each of these sectors had full control of the financial resources linked to its responsibilities.…”

“…En particulier, la conviction qu'il s'agit de réformer les structures institutionnelles des grandes villes s'est imposée comme une nécessité à de nombreux observateurs et acteurs pour faire face à un ensemble de transformations urbaines induites par des facteurs autant exogènes qu'endogènes (Collin et Robertson, 2005) 1 . Dans ce contexte, les termes de ville-régions (city-regions) ou de métropolisation ont été forgés pour désigner les transformations des métropoles contemporaines en lien avec la mondialisation de l'économie et les nouvelles formes de concurrence territoriale qui en découlent (Savitch et Kantor, 2002).…”

“…Le concept amalgame cependant de nouvelles formes d'arrangement institutionnel très disparates. Il est dès lors malaisé de lui attribuer un sens précis et univoque (Collin et Robertson, 2005). En deuxième lieu, le terme de métropolisation renvoie à un ensemble de débats sur les types de ville et les processus urbains, dont l'un des principaux effets a été de dynamiser la recherche, que ce soit dans le champ de l'économie ou des études urbaines, de la sociologie ou de la démographie.…”
