Habitat is a model community constructed along the St.
Lawrence River in Montreal, composed of 354 prefabricated
modules which combine to form a three-dimensional space
structure. The modules, or boxes as they are known, are
connected in varying combinations to create 158 residences
ranging from 600 ft2 to 1,700 ft2. Pedestrian streets serve
as horizontal circulation throughout the entire complex.
Habitat '67 was the realisation of Moshe Safdie's thesis
titled "A Case for City Living, A Study of Three Urban High
Density Housing Systems for Community Development" and was
also the major theme exhibition of the 1967 Montreal World
Exposition.
