Culture, Language and the Location of High-Order Service Functions: The Case of Montreal and Toronto
|
| Abstract |
Starting in 1960, Toronto replaced Montreal at the top of the Canadian urban hierarchy. The authors argue that long-term shifts in the geography of population and economic activity cannot account for Montreal’s fall to second place. Rather, they believe that Montreal’s natural service hinterland for high-order corporate and business functions shrunk after 1960 largely because of the rise of French as the politically-inspired dominant language of business in Quebec.
