La Condition urbaine vue sous l’angle de la conjoncture économique : Sherbrooke, 1875 à 1914
|
| Abstract |
Using Sherbrooke's tax rolls, the author traces the irregular growth pattern of the burgeoning Eastern Townships’ city. The author looks at how employment, housing, material and social living conditions and tendencies toward residential permanency or transience changed from 1875 to 1913 with the unequal and combined movement of long-term trends and short economic cycles. His study of eleven neighbourhoods makes it possible to identify the different growth development rhythm. He also notes that Sherbrooke during the period under review was a multi-ethnic city, where the old British and American base of the population had been superimposed with industrialisation by a significant layer of Irish and French Canadians. This latter group accounted for half the population in 1871 and two-thirds in 1914. The author concludes that in Sherbrooke's case, adaptation to the industrial city meant adapting a Catholic and French working-class population to an Anglo-Protestant environment.
