Abstract
All modern cities are battling with urban sprawl and its effects. Montreal is no exception. This paper takes stock of the situation that prevails in Montreal both in terms of the evolution of the mobility conditions, and in terms of the spatial evolution of the urban fabric. Classical indicators are used to describe the recent past and the present situation. As for the future, it is dealt with by means of the topodynamic approach, which is original and based on the Weberian location theory. That leads to reconsidering the traditional theory of the urban form. Finally, in accordance with the theoretical reflections, a conclusion is put forward by which a factor that is likely to have a determining effect on the evolution of urban sprawl remains the regulation through urban toll of the price of mobility inside of the urban territory. Toutes les villes modernes sont aux prises avec les défis posés par l’étalement urbain. Montréal ne fait pas exception. Nous faisons ici le point sur la situation montréalaise en mettant côte à côte certains faits touchant à l’évolution des conditions de la mobilité et à celle du secteur immobilier dans l’espace. Le passé récent et le présent sont décrits à l’aide d’indicateurs classiques. Des projections de l’évolution prévisible du tissu urbain montréalais sont présentées qui ont été générées à l’aide de l’approche topodynamique, une approche originale basée sur la théorie wébérienne de la localisation. Le lien entre les résultats obtenus et la théorie de la forme urbaine fait l’objet de remises en question. Enfin, une piste est proposée suivant laquelle il pourrait être possible d’infléchir les tendances à l’étalement urbain par la régulation, au moyen du péage urbain, du prix de la mobilité à l’intérieur du territoire urbanisé.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
