Montreal Underground System
Montreal's Underground City is the set of interconnected complexes (both above and below ground) in and around Downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is also known as the indoor city, and is the largest underground complex in the world.
Not all portions of the indoor city are underground. The connections are considered tunnels architecturally and technically, but have conditioned air and good lighting as any building's liveable space does.
Many tunnels are large enough to have shops on both sides of the passage. With over 32 km (20 mi) of tunnels spread over more than 12 km2 (4.6 sq mi), connected areas include shopping malls, apartment buildings, hotels, condominiums, banks, offices, museums, universities, seven metro stations, two commuter train stations, a regional bus terminal and the Bell Centre amphitheatre and arena.
There are more than 120 exterior access points to the underground city. Each access point is an entry point to one of 60 residential or commercial complexes comprising 3.6 km2 (1.4 sq mi) of floor space, including 80% of all office space and 35% of all commercial space in downtown Montreal.
In winter, some 500,000 people use the underground city every day. Because of its Underground City, Montreal is often referred to as the "Double-Decker City" or "Two Cities in One".

Montréal Ville souterraine Le Montréal souterrain, ou ville intérieure, est le réseau de ville souterraine de Montréal. Véritable ville sous la ville, le Montréal souterrain couvre plus de 30 kilomètres de tunnels souterrain. Cette ville intérieure est considérée comme le plus grand complexe souterrain au monde. On lui donne depuis l’année 2004 le nom officiel de RÉSO. Les tunnels et galeries permettent de relier de l’intérieur plusieurs complexes résidentiels, des centres commerciaux, des universités, des résidences de luxe et des hôtels. Les tunnels contiennent eux aussi une large gamme de restaurants et de boutiques allant du très chic au bon marché. Le Montréal souterrain contiendrait d’ailleurs près de 35 % de tous les commerces du centre-ville. En plus de permettre aux Montréalais de se déplacer en évitant les intempéries de l'hiver québécois, le réseau souterrain de Montréal permet donc de faire ses emplettes dans le confort de la ville intérieure. Le réseau de 30 km de tunnels, couvrant 12 km2 et incluant 60 complexes résidentiels et commerciaux, totalisant 3,6 km2 d'espace utilisable. Ceci représente 80% de l'espace de bureau et 35% de l'espace commercial de l'arrondissement de Ville-Marie. Parmi les services accessibles, on compte des banques, des hôtels, des centres commerciaux, des sièges sociaux, des édifices universitaires, des résidences de luxe, ainsi que sept stations de métro et deux stations de trains de banlieue. Le Montréal souterrain comporte plus de 120 points d'accès extérieur et plus de 500 000 personnes l'utilisent chaque jour, surtout durant l'hiver montréalais. MERCI Magik

I live in a concrete Jungle... I'm outside at least 3 hours of the day, on concrete... Nature has already been stolen from my life, I would not want to live underground... It may be good for some, not me... If I could wave a magic wand and make all the polution go away and what causes it - I'd do it in a heartbeat... man has to, has to find a way back to mother nature - it doesn't look like it will EVER happen, we already look at it as it won't happen in our lifetime.... This sounds gloomy I know, but I'm feeling society is out of control... When I read about your underground city, I thought of all the people trapped on the Titanic that couldn't escape.... I thought of 911, all those people trapped in burning buildings...A catastrophy will happen, it's just a matter of time. Nice pictures though, looks like a subway.

Quite impressive but Big Cities, crowds of people, Shopping Malls are the reason I moved back to the Desert Southwest and got me a Place in the Middle of The Big Empty. Nearest neighbors are Coyotes and Rattlesnakes, nearest Human neighbor is a mile and a half away. Peace

Looks great would be good in the winter when one wouldn't have to be outside in the cold/heat doing their shopping. Mind you I prefer to be in a small town or out in the country..

Je savais que Montréal est en partie sous-terraine, avec des souvenirs de son shopping mall impressionnant! Un beau collage documentaire, Magik.

Magik, c'est un magnifique collage mon ami. J'ai entendu du métro stupéfiant, mais je ne l'ai jamais vu auparavant. C'est stupéfiant et je voudrais savoir plus. Montréal est une ville fabuleuse.
