1945-1969
A bird’s-eye view of Québec City in the post-war years
The post-war years brought a period of unprecedented prosperity to Québec City. The countryside and villages that once surrounded the city gave way to new, ever-expanding suburbia. It was the era of the bungalow and the shopping mall that, ever spreading, gradually swallowed up the villages around the city. This aerial photo album reflects this era of transformation around Québec City. Do you recognize the region’s landscapes, as they changed between 1945 and the late 1960s?
