The local community viewed this as a declaration of war. What followed was a remarkable struggle that not only saved the heritage architecture from destruction but also protected local residents from gentrification through the creation of the largest nonprofit cooperative housing project on an urban community land trust in North America. And Milton Parc is not unique. Villages in Cities takes us across North America--to New York, Boston, Burlington, Oakland, Jackson, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and Vancouver--to show concrete examples of citizens taking back the land and claiming their right to secure housing. The book draws connections among these projects, examines their underlying causes, and connects them with a holistic "Right to the City" movement that is emerging internationally.HousingCanadaData processingLand trustsMontréal (Québec)HistoryMilton-Parc (Montréal, Québec)HistoryHousingData processing.Land trusts.301.540971cci1icclacccoll13laccHawley Joshua1988-1642557Roussopoulos Dimitrios I.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828033303321Villages in cities3987332UNINA
