The document summarizes the Domain André-Grasset urban development project in Montreal, which synthesized multiple 20th century urban planning movements. It discusses the project's history from the 1920s plans to the 2001 Samcon development. The Samcon project involved constructing 6 residential towers with 350 units between 2003-2010 to create a high-density, transit-oriented neighborhood respecting the site's existing trees and urban context. The presentation outlines Samcon's vision and future projects to continue reshaping Montreal.
