The Master Plan acknowledges the historical value of Montréal’s industrial heritage, consisting mainly of buildings and engineering works (structures, machines and other installations). The main industrial complexes of interest are shown below. Some buildings located within these complexes are also identified in the heritage building lists and will be subject to the protective measures described in Action 15.2.
Documenting or enhancing this heritage will however require a better knowledge of the sites and production activities that have heritage value, before well-informed and innovative actions can be taken to make Montréal’s industrial heritage a more valued part of contemporary urban life.
