A travers la présentation de lieux de culture et de loisirs publics à Montréal et Toronto, cet ouvrage examine certaines des expériences de l'espace urbain, les manières de le vivre, de l'imaginer, de se l'approprier.

No long running, unique ‘conservative mind’ comes out of this book’s transnational investigation. The 1980s did not witness the ascendancy of a movement with deep roots in the 18th century reaction to the French Revolution, but rather the decline of conservatism and the rise of movements and rhetoric that had remained marginal to traditional conservatism.
