I think (I could be wrong about the exact location, but it seems correct) that this was taken by the BMO Museum just off Place des Armes metro. If you were four months earlier and panned the camera 90 degrees to the left, you would get shots of a few trees and a fountain in front of a huge cathedral. Going past that cathedral would show more trees by the riverside, and a couple of small parks (though the nearest one has been demolished for condos recently). Most of Montreal has a good amount of foliage (when the weather allows), though downtown doesn't have much, especially following the recent renovations on Ste-Cat (this isn't Ste-Cat). It's mostly just this particular street that's urban.
