    Abstract
    The form and function of homes are changing as Canadians adapt to new technologies, new patterns of work, and new family structures. Families cannot function well without a home. But homes cannot function unless they are nested in liveable cities and supported in appropriate ways by the market and the state. Trends in recent decades have made it possible for some people to integrate their lives by working at home. But too many families are overburdened, leading to the distinct possibility that we are poisoning our own future by failing to establish new premises about the relationships between work, family, state and the liveability of our cities.
     
    La forme et la fonction des foyers subissent des transformations découlant de nouvelles technologies, de nouvelles méthodes de travail et de nouvelles structures familiales. Une famille sans foyer ne peut fonctionner correctement. Un foyer nécessite une communauté viable et le soutien du marché et de l'Etat. Depuis quelque temps, il est possible, pour certaines personnes, d'intégrer leur travail dans leur foyer en travaillant à la maison. Toutefois, trop de familles sont débordées et laissent présager une détérioration future si nous n'initions pas de nouveaux modes d'interaction des familles, du travail et de l'autorité et si nous n'encourageons pas la viabilité des villes.
