Explorez les abords du Canal de Lachine, berceau de l'industrie au Canada. Profitant de l'accès à l'énergie hydraulique, aux réseaux de transport maritime et ferroviaire, de nombreuses usines se sont installées sur ses berges. Des milliers de Montréalais y ont travaillé et habité. Transformés en parc linéaire, les abords du Canal accueillent aujourd'hui de nombreuses résidences.Une visite à pied conçue et guidée par Héritage Montréal....

During the Industrial Revolution coal was the most important energy source for both homes and industries. At the time, coal mining created strong regional industrial identities and mentalities, as well as industrial images and imaginaries in the eyes and minds of external observers. Such identities and ideas of coal would go on to shape industrial landscapes and communities.The papers presented in this session will investigate the social and economic changes that were triggered by t...
This session is about the “hard facts” of conservation. It aims to draw together technical knowledge from related fields. Industrial conservation specialists rely on specialised knowledge and may sometimes not be aware that there is expertise and proven good or best practice in related fields. The transferring of knowledge from related engineering, construction preservation and architectural conservation specialists can serve the purpose of promoting and securing future preservation of ...

Si la vallée du canal de Lachine a été le berceau de l’industrialisation canadienne, la géographie industrielle métropolitaine ne s’y est pas confinée, peu s’en faut, Outre les grandes concentrations d’entreprises des quartiers centraux, elle est constituée des réseaux infrastructuraux, d’une douzaine de centrales hydroélectriques et des ensembles manufacturiers disséminés dans une quinzaine de petites villes aujourd’hui intégrées dans l’aire métropolitaine. La conférence proposera un surv...

According to Rodney Harrison, “in the spirit of greater cross-disciplinary engagement, there is […] a pressing need to pay more attention to non-anglophone (and, indeed, non-Western) heritage literatures, histories and traditions” (2013: xiii), when we deal with critical approaches to heritage. This need is even greater when the scientific research focuses on countries such as Romania, Czechia, Bulgaria or Poland where Industrial Heritage, for example, is ignored and where the mechanism an...

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 ...
Drawing on case studies from diverse social, cultural, and political contexts the papers in this session discuss the different responses to maintaining and assessing not only the physical sustainability of industrial heritage but also the sustainability of its social values and meaning.
This session focuses on company towns from the perspective of urban planning. “Company towns” are here defined as single-enterprise planned communities, usually centered around a single industry, where a company commissions an urban plan, builds housing for its workers, and sets up recreational, commercial, institutional or community facilities. While these are now endangered by a second wave of deindustrialization, we observe that, aside studies or monographs of individual towns that popu...

Past efforts to conserve and interpret industrial heritage have rarely acknowledged the role of industry causing damaging environmental change. But todays obvious worldwide climate change inevitably impacts our thinking about conservation. This is why we propose a Roundtable session to encourage people to take a fresh look at environmental impacts of industrial heritage.Already in the 1970s narratives of industrial history as a succession of triumphs began to be qu...

Les efforts visant à préserver le patrimoine industriel s'inscrivent dans un contexte socio-économique et politique précis. Mais qu'est-ce qui est préservé et pour qui ? Et, par ailleurs, quelle est la relation entre les sites du patrimoine industriel et les communautés ouvrières soumises à la désindustrialisation qui les jouxtent souvent ? Steven High examinera les façons dont la préservation du canal de Lachine à Montréal, le principal site du patrimoine i...

L’activité industrielle est un puissant facteur de concentration de population. En témoignent les sites antiques ou médiévaux étudiés par les historiens, souvent proches des mines, des carrières ou des chantiers de construction. À partir du XVIIIe siècle, cependant, avec les premiers développements industriels, des liens forts se tissent entre les usines et diverses formes d’urbanisation. De la variété de rapports que construit l’industrie avec la ville ou, plus largement, avec les lieux d...
The Global and Local Section of TICCIH aims to continue its collaborative work by organising a separate session within the framework of the 18th congress in Montreal, Canada. Following its previous sessions centred on various subjects at the Freiberg, Tampere, Taipei and Lille TICCIH conferences, this time the Section will focus on the identity of industrial civilisation in the post-communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe from the angle of its industrial heritage, lost or preserv...
L’architecture du XXe siècle, par les méthodes de construction, les matériaux utilisés et la conception des ouvrages est partie prenante du patrimoine industriel. S’intéresser aux nouveaux matériaux, ceux apparus et produits depuis le XIXe siècle, participe de cette connaissance de l’industrie et de ses traces matérielles et immatérielles. Lancée en janvier 2019 pour quatre ans, le programme de recherche ARCHIPAL, « Architecture, aluminium et patrimoine XXe-XXIe siècles », ambitionn...
Des exemples pris sur plusieurs continents, en Europe, en Amérique du Sud, en Amérique du Nord, en Turquie, montrent des permanences fortes dans les objectifs qui président à la réutilisation des bâtiments industriels, par exemple le soucis de prendre en compte le patrimoine industriel comme une ressource pour le développement urbain et territorial ou encore les liens étroits qu’il entretient avec la culture, qu’il s’agisse de son utilisation pour abriter des équipements culturels ou plus ...

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...
Les friches industrielles sont devenues des figures urbaines ordinaires et témoignent, dans les anciennes puissances industrielles mais aussi dans les pays du Sud, des transformations du tissu urbain ainsi que du fait qu’il y ait processus de qualification, déqualification et, parfois, requalification de ces lieux. Les transformations qui les caractérisent structurent aujourd’hui d’indéniables enjeux politiques, sociologiques, spatiaux et culturels.Dans le cadre de ce congrès dont l...

This session addresses a perpetuating disjunction between conceptualisation of heritage and heritage making in heritage studies vis-a-vis heritage management and conservation of industrial heritage sites. There is an inevitable impact of this disjunction on advancing policy in people- and place-centred approaches to heritage futures. This session aims to explore ways in which tangible and intangible traces of the past can be utilised creatively in shaping desirable places to dwell and work...
In this lecture, I would like to talk about deindustrialised communities, heritage and memory in the context of right-wing populism. Drawing on studies of memory and heritage, I argue that right-wing populists have cornered the market on talking about the past of deindustrialised communities. They have successfully misrepresented this rich and complex history to fuel rage, resentment, fear and reactionary nostalgia. Indeed, ‘the past’, and in particular the industr...

The proposed session will examine the unfolding relationship between industrial heritage and those left behind in adjoining deindustrialized working-class areas. The four papers seek to understand the socio-economic and political impact of recognizing the industrial past in the present. Two guiding questions will be asked. Can industrial heritage support those ‘left behind’ in deindustrialized areas where nothing, or very little, has filled the economic or cultural vacuum? Has industrial h...
Many of the remained big scale Industrial heritage in Taiwan were the products of the Japanese colonial period between 1895 and 1945, which spans the first half of the twentieth century. This fifty-year colonial industrialisation is arguably Taiwan’s most influential industrial heritage because it began a rapid process of modernisation that is continuing today. The key to this process is the industrialisation that led to the development of main parts of the island, catalysed new communitie...

The textile sector led industrialization and urbanization worldwide for nearly three centuries. Textile industries established global trade networks based on transport, skills, knowledge, and power. They changed territories, landscapes, and cityscapes. Mill complexes and their infrastructure - canals for power and transport, railways, warehouses, and workers' housing- form historic rural or urban landscapes and represent global chains of production. This textile heritage includes tangible ...

This lecture will argue that the landscapes of industrial heritage that can be found in different parts of the world are directly related to the place-specific trajectories of deindustrialization. In other words: the different ways in which deindustrialization impacts on local communities has a direct bearing on the emergence of forms of industrial heritage. I will differentialte between deindustrialization paths and related industrial heritage regimes in a) Anglo-...

In the refusal of people in communities abandoned by industrial capital to abandon their own places, we can read an implicit critique of the mobility and unaccountability of capital, raised by those who were once inside (however tenuously or uncomfortably) and now find themselves marginalized, “left behind.” The desire to catch up again, whether through attracting new investment or transvaluing abandoned sites as tourist attractions, makes this an essentially conservative critique that is ...
