Rural and urban composition of the Canadian population / by S.A. Cudmore and H.G. Caldwell.: CS98-1931CM-6E-PDF
"The body of the monograph consists of three parts. Part A comprises a very brief review of the economic, social and biological factors determining the density of population. In Part B the general growth of urban versus rural population in Canada is sketched from the first census of New France in 1665-6 to the first decennial census in this country in 1851, and from that year the trends are traced more minutely through the seven Dominion Decennial Censuses to 1931. By short introductory notes, urbanization in Canada is compared with that in several other countries. Twentieth century suburban migration and the expansion and composition of the population of "metropolitan districts", embracing at least ten 'greater' cities in Canada with their constituent satellite communities, are examined at some length. Various phases of rural and urban distribution in the Dominion, reflected in such attributes of population as sex, age, conjugal condition, birth rate, racial origin and nativity, and the effect on population growth of certain forms of "sectionalism" as manifested in these attributes, are treated in Part C"--Pref., p. 3.
