The Quartier des Lumières project has started in the Ville-Marie neighborhood of Montreal, on the former site of the Radio-Canada tower. The project includes 5,000 housing units, offices, commercial spaces, and a school, aiming to reintegrate the area into the urban fabric and create a southern gateway to Montreal. There are concerns about ensuring affordable housing amidst increasing gentrification.
