About this title

Synopsis

Why study a city's administration? Learn how local government affects your wallet, health, and everyday life.

This edition gathers a series of lectures on municipal administration in Montreal, offering a practical look at why city systems matter and how they adapt to changing populations and needs.

In these pages, readers explore the financial side of city government, the role of health regulations, and the impact of well-run (or poorly run) public services on daily life. It uses Montreal as a focal point to discuss how urban growth tests institutions, budgets, and the responsibilities of civic leaders. The material presents historical context and concrete examples, illustrating the stakes for residents, workers, and future generations.

How municipal finances shape city services and taxes
Why public health and sanitation depend on local governance
How police and public order are organized and overseen
What makes a city attractive to newcomers and investors

Ideal for readers curious about the inner workings of cities, and how civic decisions touch everyday life in a growing metropolis.
