Bryant Park, New York City

Bryant Park reopened in April, 1992, to lavish praise from citizens and visitors, the media, and
urbanists. And, as the Urban Land Institute wrote it in an award citation, “the success of the
park feeds the success of the neighborhood.” Soon the chorus was joined by the
business community, whose assessments helped fund the renewal and now benefit from
higher rents and property values.

Montmorency Falls, Quebec

The Montmorency Falls are located in Quebec City. The falls, at 83 meters (272 ft.) high, are the highest in the province of Quebec and 30 m (98 ft.) higher than Niagara Falls. The basin at the foot of the falls is 17 m (56 ft.) deep. The falls are at the mouth of the Montmorency River where it drops over the cliff shore into the Saint Lawrence River, opposite the western end of the Île d'Orleans. The falls were given this name in 1613 by Samuel de Champlain. He named them in honour of Henri II, duc de Montmorency, who served as viceroy of New France from 1620 until 1625.

The falls are located in a provincial park. They may be viewed from several perspectives. There are staircases that allow the visitor to observe them from different angles. A suspension bridge over the crest of falls provides access to both sides of the park as well as a spectacular view. There is also an aerial tram (cable car) that carries passengers between the base and the top of the falls. In the summer the park hosts an international fireworks competition with the falls as a backdrop.
