It also often becomes a social project.In Canada, where the quest for resources punctuated human settlement, company towns marked the territory, culture and collective imagination of generations of inhabitants. They also wrote modern history in Canada, and defined its presence in the world. Founded on a study of over 200 company towns, this book presents their saga.
