Polarities of structure and change in urban systems : a Canadian example
Urban systems and the diversity of urban development
Canada ; Large city ; Urbanchange ; Urban function ; Urban growth ; Urban hierarchy ; Urban system
Canada ; Changement urbain ; Croissance urbaine ; Fonction urbaine ; Hiérarchie urbaine ; Métropole ; Système urbain
The paper examines some of the contradictory assertions in the research literature regarding the on-going reorganization of urban systems through a detailed empirical analysis of the changing properties of the Canadian urban system. The analysis
begins with a conceptual framework that recognizes alternative logics and trajectories of change in urban systems. The paper demonstrates the diversity and rapidity of change, and the indeterminant and contradictory nature of many of the relationships

Changement urbain ; Domaine méditerranéen ; Développement urbain ; Environnement urbain ; Espagne ; France ; Italie ; Planification urbaine ; Structure socio-économique ; Trafic urbain ; Utilisation du sol ; Ville
Urbanchange is the result of some very complex socio-economic processes and spatial dynamics. Such transformations can be studied on various geographical scales in Spanish provincias, French départements and the Italian provinces around
the mediterranean sea (latin arc). Relations between urbanchange and environmental impact, recent change in land use, and environmental effects of urban traffic are studied. Urban growth has a disharmonious character compared to the demographic evolution

holistic understanding of contemporary urbanchange than that offered by conventional analysis.
