 Infrastructure territories as moving landscapes: using digital media to narrate a Montreal highway corridor (Canada)Emile Forest and Sylvain Paquette Landscape Research, 2022, vol. 47, issue 5, 628-647 Abstract: Urban highways tend to divide and fragment cities. As such infrastructure ages, questions about their future arise. An example of such a highway is the Montreal gateway corridor (Autoroute 20 and 720), which links downtown to Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Montreal, Canada. In advance of considering the redesign of this highway, this research explores how such infrastructure is not just visualised as technical territory but also as social landscape. A methodological approach that bridges ethnography, visual studies, and mobility methods is tested to document the daily experience along this urban highway. Qualitative go-along interviews, documented with a digital video camera, were used to capture the dynamic experience of urban infrastructure. The concurrently verbatim account and video sequences analysis helped to access meaning, embodied in the participant’s experiences, as well as to make possible the interpretation of aspirations for the redesign of these infrastructure territories.
