Patrimonio urbano y centro moderno de montrealun caso norte-americano relevante

Resumen

This research describes the gradual change in the management of urban heritage in the context of transformative urban projects in North American city centres throughout the 20th century. Specifically, the work follows the evolution of Montreal downtown, from its beginning as the financial center of Canada, at the end of the 19th century, to his transformation into a contemporary multifunctional center core. The spectacular and devastating consolidation of Montreal’s downtown after the war led to new approaches in urban planning. The integration of urban heritage into major neighbourhood reconfiguration was foster to enhance both modern and historic parts of the city centre. This work continues as an important focus of urban planning in Montreal today.
