The Canadian city of Montréal has one of the largest developed underground areas in the world. What characterizes this unique space, why was it created, and what does it tell us about the special meaning of urban environments? This talk by Prof. Dorothee Brantz of the Center for Metropolitan Studies, TU Berlin, will delineate the multi-layered meaning of this unique urban area that emerged in the 1960s and continues to grow to this day. She will analyze the relationship between urban land development, vertical urbanism, and environmental adaptation to trace the history of this underground universe.
This guest talk held by Prof. Dr. Dorothee Brantz (TU Berlin) is part of the lecture series "Crises-Wars-Environments" (convener: Prof. Dr. Christof Mauch).
