Home-ownership is a source of security, sense of belonging and saving accumulation. In the City of Montreal only a quarter of the population own their homes. Despite the fact that the majority of renters wish to become owners, only a small fraction can afford new products of the home-building industry. In this thesis the author proposes to the industry a strategy for cost reduction: uncompleted condominiums, that are the least finished dwelling units legally allowed for living. The proposed design is analyzed from the legal, social, technical and economic points of view. The research is founded on a review of the literature, a market survey and three simulations. It was found that the proposed product might be 26-29% less expensive, than investigated examples, and could be appreciated by childless households.

Note: / There is a growing body of literature dealing with the division of labour between ethnic groups.* The major works in this field are Lord Olivier1s "White Capital and Coloured Labourf,(l) and Gunnar l/tyrdal's "An American Dilemma"(2). The former, published in 1929, described the formal organization of labour in the Union of South Africa on a racial basis; and the latter work, published in 1944, described both formal and informal efforts to effect divisions of labour on a Negro-white basis in the United States of America.

This thesis is presented as a tentative attempt to classify the cities, towns and villages of the Montreal Environs and Eastern Townships Regions and in the light of regional planning principles to verify the adequacy of the resulting regional systems. [...]
