L’industrie minière et le développement urbain en milieu nordique : l’exemple de Fermont au Québec

The map of Quebec show a vast peninsula of more than 1,6 million km2. However, the northern territories, successively called Ungava, New Quebec and North-of-Quebec, belong to that Canadian province since 1912. From a Quebecer point of view, the process of integration of these vast spaces sparsely in...
