Mega-Mistakes: The Turcot Interchange and the McGill Mega-Hospital

At the end of the last decade, the Quebec Government made a number of spectacular planning errors, errors Quebeckers will be paying for decades to come. Under a Liberal Government riddled with charges of corruption, the Minister of Transport authorized the reconstruction of a car-friendly highway intersection on some of the most valuable inner city land in Montreal, killing hopes for a new vision of the city based on mass-transit. Downwind from this new highway intersection, the government authorized the construction of a new mega-hospital, putting two brand new children's hospitals within the dangerous 200 foot perimeter of a highway. Your tour guide will draw on his experience and knowledge as former coordinator of a five-year action-research project out of McGill University's School of Urban Planning, that focused on these two mega-projects. Littered with anecdotes, facts and solid research, his entertaining yet horrifying exposé will be sure to give you food for thought on politics, corruption and planning in Montreal, in the early 21st Century.
