Habitat 67 Opens at Montreal's Expo 67
Moshe Safdie's modular housing experiment, conceived as his student thesis, opened to the public as a pavilion of Montreal's 1967 World's Fair.
- Moshe Safdie's Habitat 67 in Montreal originated in his McGill University master's thesis and was built for Expo 67 (April-October 1967), with construction from 1964 to 1967[2][3]
- It stacks 354 prefabricated concrete modules in three pyramids up to 12 storeys, making 146 residences (148 per Tourisme Montreal; 158 apartments originally), each with a roof-terrace garden[2][3]
- The federal government financed it at CA$12.4 million (1967) for a reduced version of the original 1,200-home, $45 million plan[3]
- Safdie's goal of affordable housing "largely failed" with a per-unit cost of about $140,000; modular prefab "did not take off as imagined"[2][3]
- It is a designated Montreal heritage monument (2009) and offers guided tours[2][3]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
