Well, the skyline inside the walls has indeed changed very little with the exception of the Hotel-Dieu hospital tower. It will change very little in the futur as well because most of the buildings intra-muros have heritage status.

However, the city changed quite a lot outside the walls next to the parlement buildings during the 70's, when large parts of the city were destroyed to make way for governement buldings, hotels and office buildings.
