Backyards brimming with tomato plants are a common sight in this neighbourhood, where soccer is a way of life and the smell of cappuccino fills the air. Park Extension Park Extension is home to 155 cultural communities. The neighbourhood’s commercial streets form the heart of its true urban villages. Côte-des-Neiges Located near the Université de Montréal campus, where scores of students share the streets with residents of diverse origins, Côte-des-Neiges offers West Island offers an amazing mosaic of cultures. This traditionally anglophone sector of the island takes in the boroughs and reconstituted cities of the West Island. The region offers vast green spaces bordering rivers and lakes, tranquil living environments, and lower urban density compared to the rest of Montréal. Quartier international The Quartier international urban space highlights and promotes the development of Montréal’s international vocation, drawing on a prestigious contemporary cityscape featuring art and urban design. 4 PRELIMINARY4 PRELIMINARY RESILIENCE RESILIENCE ASSESSMENT ASSESSMENT I FEBRUARY I FEBRUARY 2017 2017 Mile-End Mile-End is known for its eclecticism, creative energy and bohemian vibe.
