Detail where the galleria meets the west elevation, showing structure behind glass; The Quartier international de Montréal (QIM) or Montreal's International District is an area of the Ville-Marie borough of downtown Montreal that underwent a major urban renewal as a central business district in 2000-2003. While several of the new structures were controversial during construction, the finished product is held by many as one of the finest examples of urban design in Canada. Special care was given to Hector Guimard's Art Nouveau outdoor entrance to the Square-Victoria Metro station. The square is now fronted on the east by the Centre CDP Capital and the Montreal World Trade Centre, to the west by Tour de la Bourse and Place de la Cité internationale, and to the south by the Quebecor building, its outdated façade fully re-designed for the occasion.
