role in the development of Québec, particularly in the 19 th
century. While the remaining structures of the Old Port are

historic town. On the other hand, in case the core zone of
the World Heritage site were to be extended outside the
walled city, it would be desirable to reconsider the
delimitation of the whole nomination in relation to its
significance and historic development.

Recommendation with respect to inscription
That the proposed extension be deferred subject to
verification of the perimeter of the newly defined core
zone, as well as identifying an appropriate buffer zone and
management regime for the proposed areas.
