EFFECTS OF THE RE-LOCATION OF RAILWAY INSTALLATIONS ON OCCUPATIONAL AND RESIDENTIAL PATTERNS IN ADJACENT AREAS: FORT ROUGE CASE STUDY

Relocation of major railway installation from an urban area (in this case, the Fort Rouge section of Winnipeg, Man.) can affect the real estate market, land use and socio-demographic patterns. This study dealt with the effect on a neighborhood traditionally a settlement of railway workers. The hypothesis was that an out-migration of an important segment of the stable population would cause residential deterioration. In the short term, there was insufficient evidence to validate the hypothesis fully. A similar study carried out over a longer period in a smaller community or an area with less functional diversity would possibly yield more positive results.
