  • Griffintown Golroo Mofarrahi
    Griffintown Golroo Mofarrahi Post-professional graduate program in Cultural Landscapes School of Architecture McGill University August 2009 Report Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master ofArchitecture Golroo Mofarrahi, 2009 Abstract: This study originates from observation that urban neigh bourhoods are in continuous transition as the economy ebbs and flows. Residential neighbour- hoods will either collapse or redlined for new development as their residents start to move out (The Lure of the Local, 202). At the same time, coun- try towns are being abandoned, working class neighbourhoods are further ghettoized and steel towns are rusting in decay as “deserted downtowns con- trast with exurban building booms” (The Lure of the Local, 202). An example of this type of neighbourhood is Griffintown, which was once a working class neighbourhood squeezed between Saint Gabriel farm and the suburbs of Recollets and Victoria town in Montreal. Griffintown was an industrial and residential district. It was urbanised in the 19th century and gradually decayed through the 20th century. As an industrial district it saw the birth of very first large factories of Canada and was known as the industrial heartland of Canada. The area was of great interest to most developers, and various projects have been proposed for this area. This report addresses the follow­ ing question: How does the extent artefact system in Griffintown represent tangible evidence of the way of life before forced resettlement, and are there any artefacts worth preserving in Griffintown, an area slated for imminent development? I Résumé: Cette étude trouve son origine dans la notion selon laquelle les quartiers ur- bains sont engagés dans un cycle de croissance et de déclin soumis aux aléas de la conjoncture économique.

  • Montreal Neighbourhood Or Devimco Seigniory
    Montreal Neighbourhood or Devimco Monopoly? Everyone agrees on the need to redevelop Griffintown. The problem for opponents of developer Devimco’s megaproject – backed in a very pushy way by the Montreal administration – is in the kind of redevelopment proposed, which involves the wholesale expropriation of a neighbourhood, displacing commercial and residential owners from their properties in order to build a massive shopping area, equivalent to 30 floors of Place Ville-Marie, mere blocks from the downtown core. The developer plans to build high residential towers atop the enormous commercial space. Purely residential blocks would also be constructed around – and over – existing public parks. Nineteen historic buildings would be preserved, though mightily squashed next to their giant new neighbours. Most other existing buildings would be razed. The Special Planning Program (SPP) created by the administration to regulate the megaproject outlines admirable principles but suffers from a case of doublespeak in its specifics. The extra heights specified in it are particularly shocking to many urbanists and architects, to the City’s own Conseil du patrimoine, to numerous fans of this historic three-story neighbourhood – and to stunned Griffintowners. Currently, the highest building in the area is the 22 metre high (7 stories) ÉTS student residences. The SPP would restrain new buildings along the Lachine canal to a similar height, but would allow excessive heights of 44 m for the residential blocks around Sainte-Anne Park and 60 m for most of the rest, a height equivalent to Complexe Desjardins. As for using neighbouring giants like Grain Elevator no 5 or the Five Roses plant to justify a nosebleed height of 80 metres at the Peel basin, well! Those legendary landmarks have earned their visual status in the collective mind of Montrealers, while no new deluxe hotel deserves to block our mountain view of the St-Lawrence.

These are neighborhoods in which solidarity is at the heart of our community groups, and where the proximity of our services allow us to fully support local businesses and active transport. Above all, this is a borough where living together allows every citizen, regardless of their origin or profession, to feel welcome. The Sud-Ouest, both its residents and its merchants, deserves only the best. This involves an unparalleled quality of life in which residents are at the heart of our actions, whether it’s regarding transport, trafc, economic development, housing, community life, heritage, the environment, sports and leisure, culture, or citizen engagement. Our platform is a natural extension of our previous mandate, which will help lay the groundwork for the success our projects in the years to come. There is still a lot to accomplish together, and we are more determined than ever to make the Sud-Ouest a dynamic, welcoming and unique place for all its citizens.

At its peak, it was home to factories, metal workshops, breweries, printing plants, shipping companies and other industries. Its industrial decline began in the first half of the 20th century and was hastened by the complete closure of the Lachine Canal in 1970. This decline spurred the loss of a large number of jobs and the demolition of many buildings. As a result, the area now has high development potential, especially since many industrial buildings of heritage interest have been spared from demolition. Each part of the area has its own character and scale, making revitalization all the more interesting.
