Abstract
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.
