La dynamique spatio-économique contemporaine ou recentrage spatial du développement au Québec

In Quebec, a hierarchy of development poles identified formally in 1966 has been the base for establishing a descriptive and prescriptive model of spatial organization. With Montreal as the main pole, those urban centers may drain, transform and diffuse development factors. After thirty years of pub...

description In Quebec, a hierarchy of development poles identified formally in 1966 has been the base for establishing a descriptive and prescriptive model of spatial organization. With Montreal as the main pole, those urban centers may drain, transform and diffuse development factors. After thirty years of public policies based on development pole strategy pointing on specific urban centers, socio-economic development doesn’t really conform the initial model. The great Montreal doesn’t perform as it should. Many intermediate centers are stagnants. But some centers and areas are strongly emerging. And development corridors are appearing outside the traditional Saint-Lawrence line. Finaly Quebec illustrates a phenonenon of spatial recentering of its socio-economic development. Those tendencies of the Quebec’s spatial dynamic points out the necessity for a new modeling for which this text offers its modest contribution.
