Abstract
Quebec historians' interest in urban health is a recent phenomenon, origina ting in the 1970s. Since then, researchers drawing on the methods and conce rns of social history have asked new questions bearing on the health of the city's population and on its relevant institutions and services. The follo wing article reviews this recent literature ,delineating its findings, appr oaches, and perspectives, and outlines various areas that have as yet been neglected.
