Montreal also had teeming masses from the Quebec countryside (made of the "wrong type of people" (in imperial thinking of the day anyway) descend upon the city by the tens of thousands, and who had to be housed somewhere. This also had a profound effect on how the city developed and appears today. Whereas places like Melbourne developed more "by design".
