  • Montreal's Underground City (officially RÉSO or La Ville Souterraine in French) is the set of interconnected complexes (both above and below ground) in and around Downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is also known as the indoor city (ville intérieure), and is the largest underground complex in the world. Not all portions of the indoor city (ville intérieure) are underground. The connections are considered tunnels architecturally and technically, but have conditioned air and good lighting as any building's liveable space does. Many tunnels are large enough to have shops on both sides of the passage. With over 32 kilometres (20 mi) of tunnels spread over more than twelve square kilometres, connected areas include shopping malls, apartment buildings, hotels, condominiums, banks, offices, museums, universities, seven metro stations, two commuter train stations, a regional bus terminal and the Bell Centre amphitheatre and arena. There are more than 120 exterior access points to the underground city. Each access point is an entry point to one of 60 residential or commercial complexes comprising 3.6 square kilometres (1.4 sq mi) of floor space, including 80% of all office space and 35% of all commercial space in downtown Montreal. In winter, some 500,000 people use the underground city every day. Because of its Underground City, Montreal is often referred to as "Two Cities in One."
  • Le Montréal souterrain, ou ville intérieure, est le réseau de ville souterraine de Montréal. Véritable ville sous la ville, le Montréal souterrain couvre plus de 30 kilomètres de tunnels souterrain. Cette ville intérieure est considérée comme le plus grand complexe souterrain au monde. On lui donne depuis l’année 2004 le nom officiel de RÉSO. Les tunnels et galeries permettent de relier de l’intérieur plusieurs complexes résidentiels, des centres commerciaux, des universités, des résidences de luxe et des hôtels. Les tunnels contiennent eux aussi une large gamme de restaurants et de boutiques allant du très chic au bon marché. Le Montréal souterrain contiendrait d’ailleurs près de 35 % de tous les commerces du centre-ville. En plus de permettre aux Montréalais de se déplacer en évitant les intempéries de l'hiver québécois, le réseau souterrain de Montréal permet donc de faire ses emplettes dans le confort de la ville intérieure.
