How Much Has Your Downtown Shifted Historically?
I think a lot about how Montreal's Downtown shifted from Old Montreal and St. James Street to North-West around St. Catherine and Gare Centrale when Place Ville-Marie was built over the train tracks and has now expanded further west around Centre Bell.
Ottawa has seen such a shift as well, from the Byward Market, and then across the canal closer to Parliament, centered around Sparks. In the late 60s, it shifted west when Place de Ville was built and soon, LeBreton Flats will see towers rising around a future arena (hopefully).
How has your city's downtown shifted over the years?
