This article focuses on the environmental impact of the oil industry during the Oil Shock years in the 1970s. During this period, Brazil and Canada explored new oil sources in order to deal with the lack of supply from the Middle East. The expansion of the national oil industry in both countries affected the fragile environment of several regions and the urban life of these places, as well. In understanding how these factors affected the urban environment and nature, it is possible to achieve a new understanding about what the Oil Shock meant on a global scale.

The City

The problems of sanitary condition of the urban environment became the object of the policy of the city public administration as a result of the city reform of Alexander II. The city reform 1870 gave the rights to the City Dumas to publish the Compulsory Resolutions on issues of urban improvement and public health. These Resolutions were based on existing laws, but their content depended on the decisions of specific City Dumas. The existing Compulsory Resolutions could be supplemented with new ones over time and could be rewritten. In this context, of particular interest are the first attempts by local self-government bodies to legally regulate sanitary problems of the urban environment. The article is devoted to the analysis of the historical source “Collection of Compulsory Resolutions issued by cities and zemstvos of the Novgorod province” in terms of the information presented in it on the regulation of interaction between citizens and the components of the natural environment in the cities in the last third of XIX century. This historical source is valuable for researchers of urban environmental history, because it allows to identify the degree of urgency of local problems associated with urban pollution and disease for local self-government.
