In this essay an attempt is made to evaluate the importance of these patterns for urban growth on the Island of Montréal. The approach is an historical one, since the understanding of past patterns aids in our comprehension of the present. Thus in Part One the historical background to land granting procedures is examined, firstly in the Province of Québec, and then for the Island of Montréal. The cadastral divisions of the Island are discussed in Chapter Three, and a classification of the long lot systems is proposed. Part Two traces in greater detail the subsequent subdivi­ sion of the long lots for urban purposes. Chapter Four treats the problem in a general way, and three types of subdivision are postulated: the unplanned penetration of the long lot system, the planned long lots, and the comprehensively planned area involving a larger number of lots. With these three types of subdivision as a basic unit of analysis, measurements of land used for urban purposes in 1932, 1952 and 1961 are made(Chapter Five). The situation with regard to each type of subdivision is fully outlined for each date~ The growth of planned areas is then evaluated, and compared to urban expansion due to un­ planned penetration. The differences between the Central, Western and Eastern parts of the Island are stressed throughout. vi Using the 1932 map as a base, and making exact measurements of those subdivisions which were planned, enables one to place these subdivisions in their true perspective in the overall picture of urban growth. PART ONE H I S T 0 R I C A L B A C K G R 0 U N D -1- CHAPTER ONE History Qf the granting of land in the Province of Quebec A comprehensive survey of the development of land settle­ ment is given in a joint thesis by Cobban and Lithgow(l), and this historical summary follows their outline. (I) The Seigniorial System under the French Régime Although there were no less than six forms of land gran­ ting policies used by the crown, the usual form in New France 11 was "en seigneurie , and the subgranting of these lands was "en censive". There were no established rules for the colonial royal officers to determine the size of lands granted. They had to base the grant on a consideration of such things as the rank of the grantee, his services to the crown, his means, the nature of the land and its location. In a thinly peopled re- gion the waterways were the most usual means of communication, and the universal desire for easy access to the waterways led to the elongated form of land subdivision. As Munro said "whatever the area of the seigniorial grant, however, or wherever its location, it invariably assumed the shape of a parallelogram, 2 wi th the shorter side fronting on the river •••••••·• n ( ). Nor­ mally, preliminary surveys for the seigniorial grants were (1) Cobban, Aileen A., and Robert M. Lithgow, A Regional Study of the Richelieu Valley, unpublished M.A. joint thesis, McGill University 1952, (especially Part Two: Land Settle­ ment in the Richelieu Valley, by Lithgow). (2) Munro, William B., The Seigniorial System in Canada, Longmans, Green, & Co., New York, 1907, p. 56. -2- never made, and the new grants were referred to the previous grants. Such vagueness caused many disputes and lawsuits. It is logical to assume that, at the very beginning, the French intended to establish a feudal system of land tenure that was familiar to them. Hence the lieutenant-governor had the right to grant lands "en seigneurie" to suitably qualified gentlemen. Neither of the first two lieutenant-governors, Sieur de Roberval, who was appointed in 1540, nor his successor in 1598, Marquis de la Roche, established a permanent colony. Although, Champlain had succeeded in founding a permanent settlement at Québec in 1608, the policy of granting similar monopolies continued until 1627. Only three seigniories had been granted by that date. The reason was that in this stage of colonization, the holders of such a monopoly proved to be interested more in securing profits of the fur trade, than in bringing in settlers as stipulated in their commissions.

It is a study grounded in an ethnographic fieldwork that took place between September 1997 and July 1999. Data were collected through participant observation, by accompanying people throughout the process of their move, and assisting them in their move. It examines a range of anthropological issues such as the distribution of power in relation to residential groups, the constitution of subjectivity in motion, the relations coming into existence on the move as well as the role of material culture.
