Heritage and Green Transition: Battle of Virtues or Happy Alliance?

While more and more people are coming to recognize the urgency of rethinking our economic development model, what about urban development? In Montreal, the city is mostly already built and includes many heritage buildings, which are often seen as a constraint. How can we treat this heritage as an asset in this necessary transition?
