The author highlights the major orientations in Quebec urban history during
the last decade by reviewing doctoral and master's dissertations. Which pe
rspectives dominated this field of research? Are there new ways to deal wit
h it? It appears that student's works largely contributed to enhance our kn
owledge. Yet, the author thinks that a better understanding would have resu
lted from the strenghtening of interdisciplinary practices inspired by the
example of geography and history, and from carrying out studies spanning br
oader territories and periods.
