The big box, the flagship, and beyond
The recent introduction of big box retailers into Canadian cities has altered dramatically the competitive retail landscape. This rapid restructuring of the urban retail economy have occurred since the introduction of the big box/power centre phenomenon in the early 1990s. The analysis integrates the extensive databases that reside at the Centre for the Study of Commercial Activity with insights gained from the popular press. These two sources of…
A Property-Owning Democracy
THERE ARE FEW ASPECTS of urban studies whose interpretation is so hotly disputed as the relationship between home ownership and the working class.A heated debate has raged among social scientists for over a decade now, focusing on the extent to which the rise in home ownership in North America, Britain, Australia and New Zealand can be explained as the result of the orchestration of capitalists and the state. 1 Deep-seated arguments among the maj…

The North American Shelter Business, 1860–1920
In this article, Professors Doucet and Weaver examine the North American shelter business between 1860 and 1920. Drawing upon the business records of the Hamilton, Ontario, real estate firm of Moore and Davis, they analyze the construction, ownership, and management of the North American shelter staple—the single-family detached dwelling. Since these activities had significant effects on the everyday lives of urban dwellers, they reveal significa…
Emperor Katz's New Clothes; Or with the Wizard in Oz
THIS BOOK IS THE PRODUCT of massive funding (it and its predecessor, The People of Hamilton, Canada West, acknowledge the support of five institutions of higher learning and four major grants/fellowships) as well as more than ten years of intensive research and collaboration. It would be surprising and shocking if historians and other social scientists could not find arguments, data, and perspectives in a volume of this nature that will enhance t…

Space, Sound, Culture, and Politics

Different segments of the broadcast spectrum display quite different space‐covering characteristics, and the regulation of signals that cross international boundaries is a matter of growing concern for the International Telecommunication Union. In this paper, spectrum management issues are examined for the am portion of the broadcast band in the southern O…

Population Persistence and Early Industrialization in a Canadian City
The high rate of population turnover in nineteenth-century North American cities no longer requires emphasis. However, students of historical migration have progressed very little beyond merely documenting its existence. As a result, the relationship of social, economic, and demographic factors to migration remains imperfectly understood, and the extent to which rates of population movement varied with economic growth, population size, or other f…
Population Persistence and Early Industrialization in a Canadian City
Migration and the Social Order in Erie County, New York
Mass transiency remains the most striking and consistent finding to emerge from quantitative studies of Victorian North America. In almost every place where historians have looked at least half, often two thirds, of the adults present at one end of a decade had left ten years later, and rates based on shorter periods reveal a stream of people constantly flowing through nineteenth-century cities. Although 363,000 people lived in Boston in 1880 and…
