ResumoBased on the hypothesis that the municipality, being a social product of urban area specialization, constitutes an autonomous power centre capable of generating distinct municipal projects, this article presents the results of a comparative analysis of municipal regulations for four Montreal suburbs during the period 1875-1920. It emphasizes two types of local politics associated with issues characteristic of two types of municipalities: the industrial suburbs of Maisonneuve and St. Henri, and the bourgeois communities of Outremont and Westmount. This municipal autonomy is expressed in five predominant areas of legislation: (1) urban planning; (2) police power and public morality; (3) protection of the quality of life; (4) control of nonresidential activities; and, (5) the political process.
