Underground City (RÉSO)
This is the most Montreal piece of architecture there is: a whole second city in section, underground, that nobody master-planned — it accreted from Place Ville Marie outward. Walk it on a brutal-weather day and read how levels, metro, towers, and malls stitch together. It's a structural and urban-planning lesson you can only get here.
The 33-km climate-controlled pedestrian network beneath downtown — an unplanned masterwork of urban section, born from Place Ville Marie.
