The Post On the 1945 Plan is actually one in a series. (there are also 2 others on the plan itself). The Series also discusses How the ideas fo these plans came about, and why they seemed so good at the time. The series will also look at the 1957 plan, Some NS Planning Legislation, and Specific Monuments, Such as Scotia Square, Mulgrave Park, Harbourfront Drive.
The Series is Inspired by an exhibition put on my the Canadian Center for Architecture Called "the 60's, Montreal Thinks Big"
