Plusieurs enjeux entrent en ligne de compte et influencent les décisions prises en ce qui concerne le destin de gares de train abandonnées. Cette étude tente d‘éclairer l‘impact de certains de ces enjeux dont : le ou les nouveaux usages qui seront octroyés à la gare dans sa nouvelle «vie », l‘architecture de la gare elle-même et la façon dont elle sera traitée ou modifiée, l‘espace de la gare ainsi que sa transformation et finalement l‘appropriation de cet espace par le citoyen. L‘approche qualitative est l‘approche méthodologique choisie. La recherche combine la méthodologie d‘analyse de contenu et l‘étude de cas. Le cas de la gare de Westmount est examiné en comparaison avec le cas de la gare d‘Orsay transformée en Musée d‘Orsay.

Its tremendous breadth and depth are the fruit of careful work on the part of the many experts consulted, along with the active participation of residents, associations and institutions, all of them equally concerned that it should include specifi c measures to protect and enhance the Mountain. I am convinced that the measures in the Plan will make Mount Royal one of the fi nest natural and heritage sites on the continent. There will be many challenges as we continue to work toward this goal, and the Plan has the advantage of identifying them clearly: protecting and upgrading natural habitats that are especially sensitive because they are in the heart of the city; preserving and restoring the built heritage and, fi nally, maintaining and enhancing landscapes and views. Gérald Tremblay Meeting these goals calls for a wide variety of actions – from day-to-day vigilance Mayor of Montréal to moving forward with long-term strategic projects. One of the strengths of the Plan is in fact its detailed description of the means for pursuing all of these goals.
