Parc Extension : le renouveau d’un quartier d’intégration à Montréal
|
| Abstract |
The author points out that neighbourhoods are socially constructed spaces for people who have multiple identities and trajectories. This multiplicity is often neglected when neighbourhoods are described by one-dimensional attributes that do not reflect the different realities of the social actors (residents, community workers, officials, shopkeepers). The author deals with the question of plural perceptions and practices of neighbourhoods by examining the evolution of a multiethnic neighbourhood in Montreal through the prism of the concept of “integration neighbourhood”. First an area dominated by the Greek community and later a transitional space for populations with very diverse cultural backgrounds, Parc Extension is now facing demographic, urbanistic and socio-political changes that are transforming it into an integration neighbourhood for South-Asian groups. In the end, the author suggests, the understanding of local dynamics should be framed in a more global analysis of the interactions between the territories as “practiced” by different social actors.
