Abstract

For the paper, Quebec stands out as a particular case as within the general context of the planning of North American Cities. The development that it has undergone is seen to have had more to do with that proper to a european model of city. In 1988, an overall or general plan was thus passed, the proposals behind which were to govern the interventions to be had in the city. Housing, its Economy, Employment, Services, the Environment and its Cultural Heritage were among the master headings around which the city's planners were to centre their attention. As within the city differing sectors, special zones and neighbourhoods were seen to exist, the spatial analysis proper to this general plan first and foremost set out to structure and co-ordinate all city space as such but within the terms of each and every one of these distinguishable zones. An attempt is thus being made to re-affirm the city as the heart of a vast metropolitan and regional living space.
