some good ingredients for the recipe for making cities more livable and vibrant. It helps to have great bones to make the beef stock, and Montreal has that in spades (more so than any other Canadian city, and more than all but a small handful of big American cities [NYC, Boston, Philly]).
safe to say that Montreal is a trillion years ahead of where I live (London, Ontario), where they are still enamoured with car-centric development (stroads, stroads, stroads, and more stroads, and the awful effect on the urban fabric).
