And if that weren’t enough, like-minded people increasingly create their own opportunities by creating organizations such the Nobel Prize winning Doctors Without Borders. This unique combination of genuine interest and unprecedented opportunities is both promising at the same time that it can be overwhelming. Where does one start? How does one start? Or, perhaps even more importantly, is this really the right choice for everyone? Our Executive Education Certificate, International Development: Bridging the Worlds of Theory, Policy and Practice, was designed to provide people contemplating a career in international development with the foundation they will need to begin to answer these questions. Completing the program will provide you with the tools to navigate an increasingly complex set of opportunities, and at the same time help you to decide what the best path is for you.

Message from the Director About Our Institute The Institute for the Study of International Development Throughout North America, if not the world, is one of a few select North American epicenters interest in international development has for development research and teaching, generating reached a level not seen since the 1960s. impressive levels of original research, establishing From high school students (and sometimes new relations with the international development elementary school students as well!) to retirees, community, and training future generations of more and more people want to venture out to researchers, teachers, policymakers and development help make the world a better place. Yet there practitioners. are important differences compared to the 1960s. Mired in the idealism of the early Cold War, engagement in international development Program Details 50 years ago often entailed a very romanticized perspective on both the goals of “development” and the ability of well-meaning Westerners to contribute to its achievement. Today’s idealism is far more pragmatic, if not realistic, recognizing that what can be achieved and the role that Westerners can play in achieving it are often limited by realities we cannot control and the legitimate desire of people in developing The Executive Education program will be held at countries to shape their own destinies.

  • An Innovative Model, an Integrated Network
    RÉSEAU ÉLECTRIQUE MÉTROPOLITAIN An innovative model, an integrated network / Presentation of the #ProjetREM cdpqinfra.com THE REM: A PROJECT WITH IMPACT The REM is a fully automated, electric light rail transit (LRT) system, made up of 67 km of dedicated rail lines, with 50% of the tracks occupying existing rail corridors and 30% following existing highways. The REM will include four branches connecting downtown Montréal, the South Shore, the West Island, the North Shore and the airport, resulting in two new high-frequency public transit service lines to key employment hubs. A team of close to 400 experts is contributing to this project, ensuring well-planned, efficient and effective integration with the other transit networks. All sorts of elements are being considered, including the REM’s integration into the urban fabric and landscape, access to stations and impacts on the environment. Based on the current planning stage, the REM would become the fourth largest automated transit network in the world, with 27 stations, 13 parking facilities and 9 bus terminals, in addition to offering: • frequent service (every 3 to 12 minutes at peak times, depending on the stations), 20 hours a day (from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.), 7 days a week; • reliable and punctual service, through the use of entirely dedicated tracks; • reduced travel time through high carrying capacity and rapid service; • attention to user safety and security through cutting-edge monitoring; • highly accessible stations (by foot, bike, public transit or car) and equipped with elevators and escalators to improve ease of travel for everyone; • flexibility to espondr to increases in ridership, with the possibility of having trains pass through stations every 90 seconds.

  • “Réseau Électrique Métropolitain” (REM) Proposed by the Caisse De Dépôt Et Placements Du Québec: Issues & Potential Solutions by Anton Dubrau Final Version
    page 1 Montreal, Sept 23, 2016 Memoir for the BAPE hearings on the “Réseau électrique métropolitain” (REM) Proposed by the Caisse de Dépôt et Placements du Québec: Issues & Potential Solutions by Anton Dubrau Final Version This document outlines issues of the REM project. The REM project was proposed by the CDPQInfra, a subsidiary of the Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec. This is memoir is being submitted as part of the BAPE process for the project. For every section, impacts and problems are identified. For some sections, potential solutions are proposed within the section. A synthesis of requests and solutions is provided in the end. The section on the Privatization and Monopolization of the Mont Royal tunnel are considered the most significant impact of the REM by the author of this memoir. A potential solution, the “Shared System”, is described in considerable detail. The second most important issue is the alignment of the West­Island Branch of the proposed REM system. Again a potential solution is discussed in detail. These two issues will be addressed by the author in his verbal BAPE presentation. Many more issues are discussed in this document. The reason to discuss alternatives/solutions in such detail is that CDPQInfra has displayed an attitude that presented problems are impossible to solve, and their solution is the only one that is possible. For example, if track sharing is possible in the Mont­Royal tunnel, it makes the impact of not using that solution much more poignant. It is assumed that the reader is generally familiar with the proposed REM project, basic project parameters will not be repeated.

  • 1501 Mcgill College Ave
    www.1501mcgillcollegeave.com 1501 MCGILL COLLEGE AVE. Prestigious Office Space in a Prime Location MCGILL COLLEGE AVENUE: RICH IN HISTORY McGill College Avenue is the center of a dynamic economic, commercial and tourism landscape since its creation in 1856. In 1984, the Avenue was the subject of one of the city’s first public oppositions against a development concept that would partially obstruct views of Mount Royal and reduce the planned widening of the avenue. The mobilization of Montreal stakeholders to protect the views of its beloved mountain and the Avenue’s walkways led to the revision of this project, today known as the Bell Media Tower and Place Montréal Trust. From this spontaneous mobilization, the Advisory Committee on the Urban Design for the McGill College Sector was born and a process encouraging public consultations was implemented. Completed in 1992 by Polaris Realty, Tour McGill is the home of several prestigious tenants. It is considered one of Montreal’s tallest buildings and offers incomparable & unobstructed views of the Mount Royal thanks to the City and Heritage defenders. DIRECT ACCESS TO THE CITY’S NEW REM LIGHT-RAIL NETWORK Downtown Core is currently undergoing a major urban transformation with several ongoing redevelopment projects representing billions of dollars creating exceptional added value for tenants of 1501 McGill College Avenue. Particularly, the construction of the new fully automated light-rail network, with one of its stations directly beneath McGill College Avenue accessible via the building’s underground access. Faster than ever, this entirely new mass-transit scheduled to be delivered in 2022 will connect the North Shore, South Shore, West Island and the YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport with Montreal’s central business district through three axes.

  • Building on Momentum
    Action plan for the Downtown Strategy BUILDING ON MOMENTUM June 2017 2 MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR In the Downtown Strategy document released last spring, I pointed out how a city’s downtown is where the community shows its face to the world, where it displays its values and asserts its vitality, and where it showcases its lifestyle. So, with good reason, Montrealers have once again demonstrated their commitment to the downtown area through their record participation in the public consultation conducted by the OCPM last fall. The vision of the Strategy to support the momentum of the downtown sector, and which was shared with the community, has generated considerable enthusiasm. The future of downtown Montréal, centre of the metropolis, is not the sole responsibility of the municipal government. It involves the mobilization of all stakeholders – higher echelons of government and their agencies, institutions, public and private actors – in a collective effort to ensure that our city centre Denis Coderre continues to stand out and shine. Mayor of Montréal Montréal invites its partners to support the momentum of the downtown sector by coming together around an action plan that is the roadmap for the next decade. Both ambitious and realistic, this action plan aims to pave the way for partnerships around structuring and promising initiatives for the benefit of the community. Our municipal administration is making a significant gesture to ensure that the downtown area continues to flourish. This is an important step in the context of metropolitanization, where large cities must reorient their growth toward urban centres and reinvent their identities.
