Habitat 67

The land-filled jetty called Cité-du-Havre was built to protect the harbour from currents and ice. Habitat 67, a housing complex designed for the 1967 World Exhibition by the 23-year-old architect Moshe Safdie, was built on this reclaimed land. An avant-garde design by the day’s standards, Habitat 67 proposed a new lifestyle which hasn’t lost its appeal. Guided tours allow visitors to discover the suspended terraces, Moshe Safdie’s restored apartment, pedestrian walkways and more.
