La Cité-Limoilou, Canada

With a population of 108,415, La Cité-Limoilou packs a lot of people into its central quarters. As the oldest and most densely populated borough in Quebec City, residents face a persistent bureaucratic headache when navigating the grid-patterned streets and numerical street names. Though the historic architecture in the former boroughs of La Cité and Limoilou is undeniably charming, the sheer density of the area means little personal space and a constant hustle and bustle. For those drawn to the heart of Quebec City's colonial past, La Cité-Limoilou offers an immersive experience, but the tradeoffs in privacy and red tape may be too much for some.
