GGR246H1 Lecture Notes - Gentrification, Liberty Village, Quebec French
Document Summary
Focus on density of population and less on how many ppl are living there. Positive feedback loop of employers and people attracted to a city. Vancouver is smaller b/c it is on the west coast (diff geographically) Northern territories are less inviting to live in. Makes more sense to live close to business (with states) Inhabited = majority of population resides, not that there is uninhabited . Core: where we live; great lakes, st. lawrence lowlands, kitchener; economic roots = exploiting natural resources. Secondary: play smaller role than cities @ the core; population is smaller; developing cities. Sparse: resource towns we spoke about in l3. Almost uninhabited: rest of the country; due to geography. Service centres for communities engaged in fur trade. Halifax = service centre for east coast. A way in/out for services and goods. Qc, montreal, halifax, st. johns all on water. Function was to communicate to the surrounding communities. Montreal (bolded) was a colonial trading post.
