Their grocery store chain single-handedly introduced the modern supermarket concept to Quebec, with stores like the one you see above, which was built on C\u00f4te St. Luc Road in 1959. <\/p>\n<p>As property developers operating under the name of Ivanhoe Investments (now Ivanhoe Cambridge), the Steinbergs built many of Montreal&#8217;s first shopping malls, too, including Fairview Mall (1965), the Galeries d&#8217;Anjou (1968) and the Champlain Mall (1975). Naturally, all of them were anchored by a Steinberg&#8217;s when they first opened.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/fr\/1\/11\/LogoSteinberg.jpg\" align=\"right\" width=225 \/>I think this raises a question that is perfectly relevant to the things we discuss at Spacing Montreal: at what point does a privately-owned business, like a shopping mall or a supermarket, become a public space? Their designs, after all, are simply automobile-age updates on centuries-old urban phenomena, like public markets, high streets and shopping arcades. The fact that they are commercial ventures doesn&#8217;t necessarily distinguish them from other public spaces, like New York&#8217;s Bryant Park and Toronto&#8217;s Dundas Square, which are also run for profit.<\/p>\n<p>Steinberg&#8217;s stores, while they existed, were a central part of Montreal&#8217;s public life. Does the same hold true for today&#8217;s private public spaces?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s hard to overstate the importance the Steinberg family played in the postwar development of Montreal.
