Housing the North American City is the first comprehensive study of the way North Americans have built their cities. Focusing on the provision of housing in Hamilton, Ontario, over the last 150 years and relating this city's experiences to those elsewhere, Michael Doucet and John Weaver have established that there were three eras of city building: individualism, corporate involvement, and government intervention.
