The CHUM is to respect the wishes of Louis-Joseph Papineau by not building its research centre on land he left for a public square, now Place Chénier. (Can't help noting that the city didn't think twice about burrowing under it for the Ville-Marie, though.) But this also means the new building will be built upwards rather than outwards, a trend that risks creating visual barriers et the edge of Old Montreal. posted at 08:12
