Overnight, a fire severely damaged Saint-Paul Church, at the heart of the protected Côte-Saint-Paul heritage site in Montreal’s Sud-Ouest borough.

Le quartier Milton-Parc, rasé pour faire place à une forêt de gratte-ciel ? Ou encore : l’avenue McGill College, dotée de la vue la plus spectaculaire sur la montagne, sacrifiée pour faire place […]
À Montréal comme ailleurs dans la région métropolitaine ou au Québec, la campagne électorale municipale est marquée par des problèmes de logement, des enjeux sociaux ou climatiques et des incertitudes économiques. Face à ces défis de taille, le patrimoine bâti est une solution que les équipes et les personnes candidates oublient trop souvent. Pourtant, c’est un actif, une composante essentielle de nos milieux de vie et une possibilité pour répondre aux enjeux actuels.
