From: The History of Montréal
$1.20
In the 1970s, Montreal entered a long period of weak growth and economic restructuring. Dark, gloomy clouds settled over the city. But, in spite of everything, it continued to be renowned around the world for its cultural vitality. Montrealers and their leaders relaunched Quebec’s leading city, building on its inner strengths and heritage. The reconquest of Montreal reached its peak at the very start of this period, and the city became increasingly diverse.
