Title
Questions d'égouts. Santé publique, infrastructures et urbanisation à Montréal au 19e siècle
Abstract
Montreal was the first Canadian city to install collector sewers for waste water removal. Unfortunately, civic administrations refused to install waste water treatment facilities, making Montreal one of the most unhealthiest cities on the continent in the nineteenth and early tewetieth centuries. The author outlines the science, medicine, engineering, municipal governance, public finance and law involved in the waste water removal debate in nineteenth century Montreal.
