    Demographic context Greater Montréal encompasses 82 municipalities, broken down into 5 territories, and includes the island of Montréal at its centre and the cities of Longueuil and Laval along the north and south shores. According to the 2016 Census, the Montréal census metropolitan area (CMA) had 4,098,930 inhabitants, up 4.2% from 2011. The Toronto CMA’s population rose 6.2% and the Vancouver CMA’s population rose 6.5% over the same period.1 OVER 800,000 CHILDREN UNDER 18 A total of 821,275 children under age 18 were living in the Montréal CMA in 2016. — 46% were between the ages of 13 and 17 (Figure 1). 1 Unless otherwise indicated, demographic data are taken from the 2016 Census. Figure 1.8 Breakdown of the population under the age of 18 (by age) and in three age categories (%), Montréal census metropolitan area, 2016 Source: Statistics Canada (2017). 2016 Census, product no. 98-400-X2016001 in the Statistics Canada catalogue. The demographic weight of children under age 18 in Montréal is higher than in the rest of Quebec, in Vancouver and in Halifax, but is lower than in Calgary and Edmonton. While the number of children under 18 increased from 2001 to 2016, this group’s demographic weight relative to the overall population gradually decreased: from 21.6% in 2001, to 20.9% in 2006, to 20.3% in 2011, and then to 20% in 2016 (Figures 2 and 3).

  • Canada's Changing Language Realities and the Challenge Of
    Canada’s Changing Language Realities and the Challenge of Bilingualism Part 1 Montreal increasingly trilingual (Gatineau most officially bilingual region in Quebec and city in Canada) Jack Jedwab January 9, 2007 Highlights -While elsewhere in Canada the objective of substantially increasing bilingualism seems improbable, in the Montreal region three languages are being more common for an important share of the region’s youth notably its growing allophone population acquiring both English and French. The 2006 census revealed that the level of official bilingualism amongst persons whose mother tongue is neither English nor French represented 50.2% of the Montreal population and thus it is fair to assume the majority of the city’s allophones are trilingual. Given the substantial growth of this group in Montreal the rate of trilingualism has increased from 16.5% in 2001 to 18% in 2006 with some 660 000 Montrealers knowing three languages. In fact some 94 000 Montrealers report knowledge of four languages representing nearly 3% of the metropolitan region’s population. In Canada some 2 million persons report knowledge of three languages representing some 6.4% of the population compared to 5.9% in 2001. -In 2006 Montrealers between the ages of 20 and 39 some one in four report knowledge of three languages. -Montreal is the most bilingual metropolitan area in the country, it is Gatineau that is Quebec’s most bilingual region and city in Canada. As Gatineau is part of the Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan region its level of bilingualism as a city does not get the same notoriety as Montreal which is a CMA (in part three we will explore the evolution of bilingualism by age cohort in Gatineau compared to Ottawa, Ontario).

  • The International District of Montreal
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 165 ( 2016 ) 726 – 729 15th International scientific conference “Underground Urbanisation as a Prerequisite for Sustainable Development” Over & underground spaces & networks integrations a case study: the international district of Montreal a, Clément Demers * aQuartier international de Montréal,Montreal, Canada Abstract Downtown Montreal underwent a major urban renewal in 2000–2004. The Quartier international de Montréal (QIM) is held by many as one of the finest examples of urban design in Canada. The main purpose of the project was to restore the continuity of Montreal's downtown, broken by the gaping trench of the Ville-Marie Expressway since the 1960s, and thus to bridge the historic Old Montreal district the existing downtown business district centred around Place Ville-Marie. Other goals included the beautification of the built environment, creation of elegant city squares, showcase of Quebec design and public art, and stimulation of world-class real estate development at the heart of Montreal. The two major north-south underground pedestrian pathways were connected by the missing link put in place beneath the CDP Capital Centre and Place Jean-Paul Riopelle. Nearly 1.3 kilometers of underground corridors, animated by public art, were created and tripled access to the subway. The goal of the presentation is to present an approach to developing Air Rights above an underground (trench) expressway in a downtown area in consideration with urban design aspects, building design constraints, technical, legal and economic aspects. This session will examine the results of this significant original project, the ongoing vision for this major part of the city, and what future development activity is likely to take place.
