| Title |
Value-based Characterization of Cultural Landscapes: The Cases of Villa Thompson and Villa Sparrow, Mont-Royal, Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the cultural landscape of Villa Thompson and Villa Sparrow, located on Montreal's Mont Royal. The author argues that the site of the Thompson and Sparrow Villas, as a cultural landscape, is a valid cultural document, and therefore requires understanding through cultural study within the field of inquiry and methodology of characterization. From its role as a crossroads for Aboriginal peoples for thousands of years, to its first European occupation by French settlers, to its exploitation as agricultural land, to its appropriation for leisure, and finally to its occupation by English-speaking merchants and their luxurious villas, this cultural landscape and Mont Royal as a whole are considered worthy texts by the author for reading, analyzing and understanding the cultural values, world views and history of its successive occupants.
