The history of Quebec City extends back thousands of years, with its first inhabitants being the First Nations peoples of the region. The arrival of French explorers in the 16th century eventually led to the establishment of Quebec City, in present-day Quebec, Canada.

Québec City, the province’s capital, found itself at the forefront of the changes washing over Québec in the early 1960s as Québec’s government sought to be in the vanguard and put all of society on the path to progress. As part of this mission the authorities decided to replace large swaths of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste neighborhood they deemed to have fallen into disrepair with a modern administrative Centre. The change was spectacular.

Two major reports in 1956 and 1963 recommended an overhaul of downtown Québec City, while leaving its historical centre untouched. As the Québec government hurried to hire thousands of new employees to work in new areas the state was now responsible for—particularly in health and education—transforming the neighborhood into a new administrative and business Centre meant wrecking balls and rebuilding work rather than years of renovation and restoration.

Work began in 1965 by building new roads that would bring thousands of people to work in new office towers, stay in first-rate hotels, and shop in a revitalized city Centre. Boulevard Saint-Cyrille (today René-Lévesque) appeared for the first time. Then blocks of houses were expropriated and demolished to give way to the new Dufferin-Montmorency expressway. Place-Québec, a new shopping mall, was also built. Work peaked in 1969 with the start of construction work on a series of skyscrapers that would cement Québec’s position as a truly modern city.

In all 2,000 downtown buildings were torn down between 1960 and 1976. Most were in the Saint-Jean-Baptiste neighborhood, which became the modern capital’s centerpiece. Many measures have since been put in place to minimize the negative impact of this period of rapid change in the city. René-Lévesque and Dufferin-Montmorency, in particular—the redesigned section of the latter renamed Avenue Honoré-Mercier—have become more pedestrian friendly and even have a certain charm.
