Social Science Program 320-101-DW Over the past 600 years the Montreal region has gone through a number of transformations that have led to its present form. It is a space shared by different cultures. It is a place competing with other metropolitan regions for business and immigration. Through the methodology of regional analysis this course will provide the student with a close-up view of how the geography of Montreal has been shaped by the city's function within a provincial, federal and global context. Slides, lectures, discussions and field trips will be used to enrich the student's understanding of those factors that make Montreal a significant city of the world. 320-212-DW The objective of this course is to clarify the relationship between Geography and the movement of people for diverse reasons. Travel and Tourism will be explored in an historical context and closely related to economic well-being and transportation technologies. The motivations and origins of travellers, their destinations and the impacts of Tourism on host societies will be closely examined. Topics discussed may include the increase of disposable income on travelling, the impact of mass movers such as cruise ships, the B737 and the Airbus 380 on the industry, destinations and their qualities, eco-tourism and the social, cultural and environmental impacts of Tourism. Information technologies and the Internet will be extensively used in this course.
