Lorsqu’on marche Laval de long en large, on se rend compte que plusieurs des pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s sur l’\u00eele J\u00e9sus sont erron\u00e9s. Premi\u00e8rement, il n’y a pas qu’un seul Laval, il y en a plusieurs. Laval compte de nombreux boulevards sans trottoirs, c’est vrai, mais aussi de nombreux milieux de vie \u00e0 \u00e9chelle humaine, des rues commerciales qui se marchent, des \u00e9piceries Halal de quartier et autres commerces de proximit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Ce qui est le plus frappant, cela dit, c’est la cohabitation de choses disparates qui \u00e0 prime \u00e0 bord ne vont pas les unes avec les autres: des champs de ma\u00efs et de fraises en plein milieu de quartiers r\u00e9sidentiels, en face d’un spa urbain et d’un restaurant italien avec une terrasse. Des tours de 100 m\u00e8tres \u00e0 quelques pas de petits chalets des ann\u00e9es 50 convertis en bungalows et de MacMansions modernes en briques roses.<\/p>\n

Tout \u00e7a pour dire que ce qui est le plus frappant de la forme urbaine lavalloise est qu’elle ressemble \u00e0 plusieurs \u00e9gards \u00e0 la forme urbaine montr\u00e9alaise: dans les deux cas, on y trouve une tol\u00e9rance de l’incongru qui, il me semble, est assez unique en son genre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
