"The need for an assessment of the urban dimension of western Canadian development is obvious. Recent reviews of western Canadian history indicate that urban studies have not yet achieved a place of equality beside such areas as political, ethnic, native, or labour history. One of the main reasons for this is that unlike these areas of study, the writing of urban history most often begins with a local situation, and local history, unfortunately, rarely attracts the attention of professional scholars" - from the General Introduction.
