  • At the Heart of the City, a Series of Three Guided Tours Offered by Heritage Montreal and Ivanhoé Cambridge
    L’avenir en héritage A heritage for the future For immediate release At the Heart of the City, a series of three guided tours offered by Heritage Montreal and Ivanhoé Cambridge Montreal, April 28, 2015 – This spring, Heritage Montreal and Ivanhoé Cambridge are pleased to present for the second year, a series of three guided tours under the theme At the Heart of the City. From May 12 to June 18, take a break from the daily grind of “subway-work-sleep” and cast a fresh eye upon Montreal’s architectural treasures, witnesses to the development and international stature of the city where you spend every day! Starting from Dorchester Square (formerly Dominion Square), which was developed in the 19th century and would go on to serve as the gateway to downtown, each of the three tours explores milestones in the development of the city centre, from major constructions, such as Windsor Station and Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral, to important retail and office complexes such as the Sun Life Building and Dominion Square Building and Montreal’s landmark Place Ville Marie, a symbol of modernity. Series of three tours offered from May 12 to June 18, 2015: • Dominion Square: new gateway to downtown (1870-1930): May 12 and 21, June 2 and 11 • The Beginnings of the Modern City (1930-1962): May 14 and 26, June 4 and 16 • The Modern City Today (1960-2015): May 19 and 28, June 9 and 18 The guided tours, each lasting 90 minutes, are available in both French and English on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 p.m.

Earlier studies have emphasized the role of modern planning in the making of Place Ville-Marie and other post–Second World War urban redevelopment projects. This article advances an interpretation of Place Publisher(s) Ville-Marie as a capital investment in the “production of space.” The project was a highly speculative effort by its developer, William Zeckendorf, to utilize Urban History Review / Revue d'histoire urbaine monumental architecture to sell prestige to corporate tenants. This took place in specific, historically contingent, and politically contested circumstances. In a ISSN period when modernization was a powerful and popular idea, Zeckendorf cultivated a myth about Place Ville-Marie that accommodated and absorbed 0703-0428 (print) nationalist aspirations within Montreal and Canada that were fixed upon the 1918-5138 (digital) panacea of modernization.

The figures in the present volume supersede the provisional ones. The Annual Report of the Bureau of Mines for 1936 is published in several parts, of which this volume is Part A.
