Espace et travail urbains : le paysage professionnel de Québec, 1871-1901
|
| Abstract |
In the first half of the nineteenth century, Quebec City benefitted from the strong commercial activities associated with the timber trade, the ship-building industry and being the colonial capital. Associated with this economic activity was the city's demographic growth, especially from immigration from Britain and Ireland. However, the second half of the nineteenth century saw a sharp economic downturn in the city as the demand for timber and wooden sailing ships went into steep decline. As went the economy, so went the Anglophone population. The Anglo-Protestant (English, Scottish and Irish) population declined from 18.3% of the total Quebec City population in 1851 to 6.3% in 1901, while the Anglo-Catholic (Irish) population declined during this same period from 23.8% of the population to 10.1%. During this same period, the Francophone population increased from 56.6% of the population to 82.9%. The author examines the impact of the economic change on the social landscape, especially residential space, and on the urbanization of French Canadian society.
