Abstract

Could Montréal be a new "school" in urban studies in
North America? This paper shows how research on social and
ethnic mix in Montréal has been built on what makes this city
unique: its "in-between" nature, its neighbourhoods and the
importance of public spaces in urban life. The research agenda
is also part of a conversation between scholars and practitioners
that has continued uninterrupted for almost 30 years. This is
illustrated by revisiting a series of research projects conducted
on three topics: inter-ethnic cohabitation in neighbourhoods, in
social housing, and planned social mix.
