La gentrification et l’incendie criminel dans trois quartiers de Montréal

Abstract

In the Greater Montreal area, the gentrification of the Plateau Mont-Royal/Centre-Sud and South-West districts and the City of Verdun has been accompanied by an increase in fires, many of a criminal nature. The governmental and municipal programs which favor urban revival in certain districts of Montreal and insurance companies must take into account this phenomenon which is related to gentrification.
