[2017], Shoreline Call No: 971.4 W684m Edition: ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "The author has taken 1909 and the old Montreal Star newspaper to show us Montreal of 107 years ago. In quotes from The Star and comments, he chose 1909, the end of the Edwardian Period, where the news was of the Cannon Royal Commission into municipal corruption, the 'Back to Montreal' weekend, and a typhoid epidemic. We can see how citizens coped in poor conditions and how they enjoyed summer and winter outdoor fun. We can see municipal problems as well as humorous events that caught a reporter's eye. We see how far and not-so-far Montreal has come in the last 100 years.".

2021., Véhicule Press Call No: NEW QWF 320.9714 S225s Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The rise to power of one of Canada's most progressive municipal movements in recent memory. When it was dreamed up in the early 2000s by a transportation bureaucrat with a quixotic dream of bringing tramways back to the streets of Montreal, few expected Projet Montréal to go anywhere. But a decade and a half later, the party was a grassroots powerhouse with an ambitious agenda that had taken power at city hall--after dumping its founder, barely surviving a divisive leadership campaign and earning the ire of motorists across Quebec. Projet Montréal aspired to transform Montreal into a green, human-scale city with few, if any equal in North America. Equal parts reportage, oral history and memoir, Saving the City chronicles what the party did right, where it failed, and where it's headed. Written from the perspective of someone who worked for Projet Montréal's administration for almost a decade, Daniel Sanger's book draws on dozens of interviews with other actors in the party and on the municipal scene, past and present. A highly readable history of Montreal municipal politics over the past 30 years, Saving the City will also discuss issues of interest to city-dwellers across Canada. Are political parties at the municipal level a good thing? Is Montreal's borough system a model for other big cities? What are the best ways to control urban car use? What is the optimum width for a sidewalk? The best kind of street tree? And why free parking is a terrible idea.
