Où va la ville? (1re partie) 1972

Directed by Michel Régnier

There's no point in fleeing the city, because the problems of the entire country are concentrated there. Montreal's future isn't entirely uncertain: one only has to look at the many American cities that have preceded us in this endeavor to discover the choices available. Thus, we know that bedroom communities are merely a temporary and illusory refuge. Sooner or later, we will have to confront the city head-on and address the very root of the cancer that is eating away at it, in order to transform it into an entity conducive to human happiness.
