“…Until the early 1970s, no such city centers existed. Since the mid‐1970s, and more especially in the 1980s, as suburban municipalities surrounding the City of Toronto expanded rapidly, municipalities and developers detected the need for civic centers (Charney, 2005). These clusters, unlike office parks, contain multiple functions: public buildings, retail space, entertainment facilities, and office space.…”

In recent studies, arguments have been made attesting to the growing spatial dispersion of Canadian agglomerations. Using the patterns of office development, this article presents an analysis of suburban Toronto during the last two decades. The suburban domain, like the metropolitan region as a whole, is stratified into concentrated and dispersed spheres. A part of the development is scattered; however, for the most part, it is contained within large and discrete clusters. This pattern has evolved sequentially following key corridors of metropolitan growth. As growth moved farther from the central city, older clusters depreciated and newer clusters became hubs of development. Dispersion has indeed been on the rise, but it has been principally associated with the development of single-family homes and shopping areas. Regarding office development, the suburban realm of Canada's largest urban region is still rather clustered.

RésuméLa poussée de l’habitat pavillonnaire après la Seconde Guerre mondiale a profondément bouleversé le paysage urbain en Amérique du Nord. La vitesse et l’extension de ce mouvement témoignent d’une intense ferveur, si bien que l’on ne doute pas qu’un trait fondamental de la culture contemporaine soit en cause. Il reste que l’habitat pavillonnaire essuie aujourd’hui de nombreuses critiques. Malgré ces critiques, l’habitat pavillonnaire demeure toujours très populaire, d’où la pertinence de se pencher à nouveau sur les raisons de l’adhésion qu’il suscite. Dans cette perspective, il semble important de s’interroger sur l’engagement personnel que suppose le recours au crédit hypothécaire nécessaire, dans la plupart des cas en Amérique du Nord, à l’accession à la propriété d’un pavillon. Il n’est certainement pas anodin que le crédit hypothécaire soit une institution dont l’évolution, au XXe siècle, est intimement liée à celle de l’habitat pavillonnaire. Or il est possible de démontrer que l’engagement personnel qu’exige le crédit n’est pas qu’une simple condition technique liée à la mise en oeuvre d’un mécanisme économique, mais la manifestation d’une passion qui, au Canada et aux États-Unis, modèle encore fortement la façon d’habiter les lieux et d’aménager le territoire.
