As Montreal entered the 1960s, it moved to modernize the eastern sector of its downtown, with the construction of Habitations Jeanne-Mance, Place des Arts and Complexe Desjardins. These new sites transformed the urban fabric that, up until then, had been mostly residential. Different kinds of buildings —commercial, institutional and cultural—have since been integrated into its very distinctive landscape.
