Community lies at the heart of the processes of industrialization and de-industrialization. From labor to landscapes and from social fabric to ecological communities, scholars regularly examined the industrial community as core to industrial heritage. However, while social scientists have long studied industrial communities, only recently has there been a general consensus of respecting and working with communities themselves. Even so, working “with” a community on industrial heritage has ...

Industrialization processes have been global from their very beginning. However, their interpretation still tends to be limited to specific locations or regions, and to specific time periods. Regularly, for example, it is stated that the industrial revolution started in Europe, from where it spread to the world, supposedly bringing technological and social progress to „less developed“ countries. Earlier periods of technology and knowledge transfer processes, that were already in place in t...

Pays continent, dont l’industrialisation s’est amorcée dès le 19e siècle, le Canada a vu à la faveur entre autres de la désindustrialisation et de la requalification urbaine, des pans importants de son patrimoine industriel être altérés ou encore détruits. Cela étant dit, même ainsi, il n’en demeure pas moins que ce pays possède encore aujourd’hui un patrimoine industriel significatif. Or, le Canada étant une confédération, la protection et la sauvegarde de cet héritage industri...

In this roundtable we will resume and discuss main ideas and findings from the regular session on "Reinterpreting industrial heritage from a global perspective", which will be held in 7 slots from Monday through to Wednesday morning. During these days, we will deepen the discussion between the session’s participants and other colleagues, while spending time together on the congress’ floors and doorsteps. In addition, we can build on previous reflections some of us shared dur...

Le canal de Soulanges est une infrastructure, localisée sur la rive nord du Saint-Laurent, qui a été ouverte au trafic maritime en 1900, succédant alors au « vieux canal » de Beauharnois (établi depuis 1843 sur la rive nord du Saint-Laurent). Le canal de Soulanges a été abandonné en 1959, alors que s’ouvrait l’actuelle Voie maritime du Saint-Laurent qui relie les Grands Lacs à l’Atlantique. La conception du canal de Soulanges est due à l’ingénieur Thomas Monro (1831-1...

Transportation and distribution have served as the secondary component to significant industrial expansion after energy and power transformed modes of production.  Expanding production permitted increases in output demanding a means to both bring new materials into industrialized regions and export products to markets. Canals and shipping provided the earliest forms of bulk transportation but were limited by capacity, geography, and envir...
