There is plywood on some of the church’s windows and the entire property, from the church to its attached, brick-faced social hall, appears empty. When residents pulled together last year to thwart the demolition of St. Columba Church and nix the proposed housing pro - ject, they were told that the property would likely be abandoned. Undeterred, 244 res - idents signed the registry. Of those opposing residents, there were many fighting for the preservation of the church, saying they didn’t want a housing project making the streets even busier.

  • Identifying Urban Neighborhood Names Through User-Contributed Online Property Listings
    Article Identifying urban neighborhood names through user-contributed online property listings Grant McKenzie1, Zheng Liu2, Yingjie Hu3, and Myeong Lee2 1 McGill University, Montréal, Canada; 2 University of Maryland, College Park, USA; 3 University at Buffalo, Buffalo, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Version September 22, 2018 submitted to ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf. 1 Abstract: Neighborhoods are vaguely defined, localized regions that share similar characteristics. 2 They are most often defined, delineated, and named by the citizens that inhabit them rather than 3 municipal government or commercial agencies. The names of these neighborhoods play an important 4 role as a basis for community and sociodemographic identity, geographic communication, and 5 historical context. In this work we take a data-driven approach to identifying neighborhood names 6 based on the geospatial properties of user-contributed rental listings. Through a random forest 7 ensemble learning model applied to a set of spatial statistics for all n-grams in listing descriptions, 8 we show that neighborhood names can be uniquely identified within urban settings. We train a 9 model based on data from Washington, DC and test it on listings in Seattle, WA and Montréal, QC. 10 The results indicate that a model trained on housing data from one city can successfully identify 11 neighborhood names in another. In addition, our approach identifies less common neighborhood 12 names and suggestions alternative or potentially new names in each city. These findings represent a 13 first step in the process of urban neighborhood identification and delineation. 14 Keywords: neighborhood; neighborhood name; random forest; spatial statistics; housing; craigslist 15 PRE-PRINT 16 1.

  • Sir Herbert Meredith Marler: the Life and Lineage of a Montreal Patrician1
    Article Sir Herbert Meredith Marler: The Life and Lineage of a Montreal Patrician1 Jason Butters Concordia University Abstract Adopting the ‘patrician’ model as recently applied by Brian Young and John Irvine Little, this paper examines a family’s ascendancy across three generations. This process propelled Montreal born lawyer-turned-diplomat Sir Herbert Meredith Marler (1867-1940) into the upper echelons of Quebec and Canadian society. An archetypical patrician, Marler imbued an emergent Canadian-national identity. Through a contextualization of lineage, the author assesses aspects of Herbert Meredith’s identity – considerations that together illuminate the developments of a life in the public and private spheres of early-century Montreal. Not only was Herbert Meredith Marler a well-educated and wealthy Anglophone lawyer, Member of Parliament, diplomat, and head of Canada’s third foreign legation, he provides a multi-facet vantage point into Montreal society during a formative period of Canadian history. This article is based on contemporary press reports, Liberal party publications, the memoirs of colleagues, Canadian and Japanese diplomatic cables, and privately penned and published family histories. In addition, portraits and images from the McCord Museum’s Notman collection reveal the Marler’s self-perceptions and image-shaping habits. Concluding in late-inter-war period, the author’s analysis thus exhibits a parallel between the closing stages of the life of Sir Herbert Meredith Marler and the end of an era dominated by the ascendant patrician. ______________________________________________________________________________ In early September 1929, Herbert Meredith and Beatrice Isabel Marler arrived at the port of Yokohama outside Tokyo where Herbert Meredith worked for the next seven years as the first Minister Plenipotentiary to Japan, head of Canada’s third foreign legation.
