L'habitat ouvrier, issu des siècles de l'industrie fait partie de notre paysage. Nous sommes si habitués à le voir que nous sous-estimons, le plus souvent, sa nature et son importance. Parfois, il s'imbrique dans le tissu urbain, d'autres fois, c'est au contraire l'uniformité d'une seule et même architecture, occupée par une couche sociale homogène qui détermine la physionomie des lieux. Comme objet d'histoire, il apparaît avec l'industrialisation au point de se confondre avec elle. Comme création particulière des siècles de l'industrie, l'habitat ouvrier se complexifie avec le temps. À partir du milieu du XXe siècle, l'habitat ouvrier se confond avec l'habitat social. Compris comme un legs de la société passée, il fait partie de notre environnement et peut être récupéré: c'est là que se place la question de la rénovation du patrimoine industriel et de sa signification

"Company towns are often portrayed as powerless communities, fundamentally dependent on the outside influence of global capital. Neil White challenges this interpretation by exploring how these communities were altered at the local level through human agency, missteps, and chance. Far from being homogeneous, these company towns are shown to be unique communities with equally unique histories. Company Towns provides a multi-layered, international comparison between the development of two settlements--the mining community of Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia, and the mill town of Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada. White pinpoints crucial differences between the towns' experiences by contrasting each region's histories from various perspectives--business, urban, labour, civic, and socio-cultural. Company Towns also makes use of a sizable collection of previously neglected oral history sources and town records, providing an illuminating portrait of divergence that defies efforts to impose structure on the company town phenomenon."--Publisher's website.
