Résumé
Dans cet article, nous discutons des éléments structurants de la théorie de la forme urbaine et des méthodologies servant à mesurer la qualité de vie et la qualité des environnements naturels et construits des espaces urbains. Nous tentons ainsi d’approcher, d’une manière commune, les dimensions socio-économiques, urbanistiques et environnementales qui caractérisent les espaces urbains et ce, en retenant les variables clés pour un test appliqué à la région métropolitaine de Montréal. La proposition vise à développer un modèle synthétique d’analyse conçu à partir d’un nombre restreint d’indicateurs. Nos résultats, issus d’une analyse factorielle, démontrent la grande stabilité des structures spatiales héritées de la métropole industrielle.

Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the basic elements of urban form theory and the approaches used to measure both the quality of life and that of the built and natural environments found in urban space. We try combining the socio-economic, morphologic and environmental aspects of urban space in order to choose the key variables needed to put the Montréal metropolitan area to a test. The goal of this proposal is to develop a synthetic analytical model based on a limited number of indicators. Stemming from a factorial analysis, our results show the lasting stability of the spatial structures inherited from the industrial metropolis.
