L’Autre Montréal – Barn for the poor and municipal meadow for the first city dwellers, the Nazareth stronghold, later called Griffintown, around 1850 became home to Irish immigrants and Canada’s first industrial centre. Depleted of its working-class community and a large portion of the built environment, this mythical neighbourhood is at the centre of current urban development challenges.
