From: The History of Montréal
$1.60
This chapter explores the city’s population growth, social and ethnic divisions, and the nature of city life/the social landscape. Between the end of the nineteenth century and the start of the First World War, Montreal experienced one of the strongest growth spurts in its history. Its population exploded and spread further and further from the city centre. The city was a hive of activity and reached the peak of its powers as the biggest in Canada.
