Abstract

Part of a larger forum on the state of urban history in Canada, this article surveys recent literature in Canadian urban environmental history. The authors conclude that the city remains an important frame of analysis for Canadian historians. Recent work by Canadian environmental historians demonstrates that historians continue to address urban developments, but their contributions are less likely to appear under the umbrella of “urban history” and even less likely to be framed nationally as “Canadian urban history.” A preference for single-city studies over comparative works and a bias against recency has constrained examinations of rich histories of urbanization in Canada over the past 40 years.
