    Mergers and De-Mergers: Implications for Environmental Planning and Management in Montreal by David Brown Summary This article examines the effect of the recent forced municipal mergers on environmental planning and management in the Montreal region. Following an overview of the mergers, consideration is given to the need for a balance between top-down and bottom-up approaches to environmental planning, the relative advantages of the pre- and post-merged states and, finally, the prospects for the future. Two questions underlie the discussion: (I) Has the merger made it easier to apply an ecosystem approach to environmental planning and management? (2) To what extent is it possible for residents in the new city of Montreal to maintain a sense of belonging and stewardship with respect to their local environment? Sommaire Cet article se penche sur /'incidence des recents regroupements forces de municipalites dans la region de Montreal, dans l'optique de la planification et de la gestion environnementale.Apres un survol des amalgamations, ii est question du besoin d'equilibrer les approches ascendantes et descendantes en planification environnementale, des avantages re/atifs avant et apres /es amalgamations et, pour terminer, des perspectives d'avenir. Deux questions sous-tendent cet expose : I) L'amalgamation a-t-elle facilite /'application d'une approche axee sur /es ecosystemes en ce qui a trait a la planification et a la gestion environnementale? 2) Dans quelle mesure les habitants de la nouvelle ville de Montreal peuvent-ils perpetuer leur sentiment d'appartenance et d'intendance a l'egard de l'environnement local? or the past few years, politics and facilities and services; adequate infra­ Fplanning have been a potent mix as structure; and improved competitiveness the Quebec government forced many of Quebec's cities within the global municipalities in urban agglomerations marketplace.

  • Globalization, Governance and the New Regionalism: Planning Responses in Montreal, Canada
    Wolfe, J.M., Globalization and Planning: Montreal, Canada, 39th ISoCaRP Congress 2003 GLOBALIZATION, GOVERNANCE AND THE NEW REGIONALISM: PLANNING RESPONSES IN MONTREAL, CANADA. Jeanne M. Wolfe School of Urban Planning, McGill University, 815 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal, Qc. H3A 2K6 Canada [email protected] Abstract. The responses of urban areas to globalization have been many and varied. The ever increasing flows of trade, capital, information, and people have forced a re- thinking of the way in which urban areas are governed and managed. Senior levels of government, in an effort to capture increased economic activity, are endeavouring to find ways in which to improve the attractiveness and competitiveness of cities. In Canada this has taken the form of creating super-municipalities through the forced amalgamation of suburban local governments with central cities. This has been the case for Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Halifax, Quebec City and Montreal to name but a few. These new cities have responsibilities in the areas of economic development, urban planning, cultural and social development, environmental control, infrastructure provision, and some social welfare activities although these are partially shared with provincial governments. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the changes to planning practice in the region of Montreal following radical municipal reforms started in 2000, in which the Montreal Metropolitan Community was created and all 28 municipalities of the Island of Montreal were amalgamated, and briefly compares

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Founded in 1642, Montréal has been a city of immigrants for four centuries. The only French-speaking city in North America where its population of more than 1,500,000 is predominantly bilingual and many of them speak a third language, Montréal comprises representatives of both the French- speaking and English-speaking communities, augmented by some 150 other communities of diverse origin making up 34% of its population. l A modern metropolis that burst onto the international stage with the Expo ’67 World’s Fair, Montréal is now a knowledge city and Canada’s leading investor in university research. It is home to two French-speaking and two English-speaking universities, representing a total of 11 university institutions, along with approximately 50 Canada Research Chairs involved in developing a multitude of international networks. l Montréal has a healthy economy, and optimism is the name of the game for the 2007–2010 period with an average expected annual economic growth of 2.9%.

  • A Bicycle Network for a North American Metropolis: the Case of Montreal
    A Bicycle Network for a North American Metropolis: The Case of Montreal Marc Jolicoeur, Research Coordinator, Vélo Québec 1251 Rue Rachel Est, Montreal H2 J2J9, Canada [email protected] Summary There are nearly two million cyclists in Greater Montreal, and responsibility for the development of the city's bicycle networks lies in the hands of 122 municipalities. Many of these municipalities have made the creation of bikeways a priority and the metropolitan area now has a bike network comprising over 1,000 kilometres. The 29 municipalities on the island of Montreal have cooperated on the creation of this network via the Montreal Urban Community (MUC), but there has been little concerted action at the metropolitan level. The Réseau vélo métropolitain (Metropolitan Bicycle Network) is a project launched in 1998 to develop a unified bicycle network that will connect all parts of the metropolitan area and to make transportation by bike and public transportation more compatible. The goals of this project are: - to provide cyclists with greater access and to increase the use of bicycles as a means of transportation; - to provide a network that will promote economic development by creating a bike-friendly city that is attractive to tourists and investors. The partners in this project include municipalities, which will be responsible for the further development of their bikeways, transit commissions, which will develop better services for cyclists, and Vélo Québec, which has been mandated to coordinate the project. 1. Montreal, a bike-friendly city With over 3 million inhabitants, Greater Montreal is Canada's second largest city and boasts 10% of the country's population within a 50-kilometre radius.

    « CONFIDENTIAL WOMEN AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION: THE MONTREAL CITIZENS MOVEMENT, 1974-1989 Paula Louise van der Veen Department of sociology McGi11 University, Montreal January, 1990 A Thesis submi tted ta the Faculty of Graduate studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (c) Paula Louise van der Veen, 1990 '. ABSTRACT This thesis attempts to further the study of women' s political participation by examining involvement in the Montreal citizens Movement from approximately the time of its founding in the early 1970s to just after its achievement of power in 1986. Three approaches - resource mobilization, sexual division of labor and role conflict­ are used to analyze critically the individual determinants, structural foundations, and nature of this participation, while a brief historical background provides the context for the movement and for i ts participants factions. While authors have studied the MCM' s structure and programs in general and have noted women's involvement primarily in its early stage as a social movement, there has been only limited discussion of women's participation. This thesis builds upon the latter by documenting and analyzinq the nature of such participation using content analysis, participant observation, and persona! interviews. i RESUME Cette thèse essaie de faire avancer l'étude de la participation ;olitlque des femmes en examinant leur implication dans le Rassemblement des citoyens et citoyennes de Montréal à partir du moment de sa fondation au début des années 1970 jusqu'apr~s sa prise de pouvoir en 1986. Trois approches - la mobilisation des ressources, la division sexuelle du travail, et le conflit des r8les sont utilisées pour analyser d'une façon critique les d6terminants individuels, les fondations structurelles, et la nature de cette participation, tandis qu'une revue historique fournit le contexte du mouvement et de ces participants.

Its tremendous breadth and depth are the fruit of careful work on the part of the many experts consulted, along with the active participation of residents, associations and institutions, all of them equally concerned that it should include specifi c measures to protect and enhance the Mountain. I am convinced that the measures in the Plan will make Mount Royal one of the fi nest natural and heritage sites on the continent. There will be many challenges as we continue to work toward this goal, and the Plan has the advantage of identifying them clearly: protecting and upgrading natural habitats that are especially sensitive because they are in the heart of the city; preserving and restoring the built heritage and, fi nally, maintaining and enhancing landscapes and views. Gérald Tremblay Meeting these goals calls for a wide variety of actions – from day-to-day vigilance Mayor of Montréal to moving forward with long-term strategic projects. One of the strengths of the Plan is in fact its detailed description of the means for pursuing all of these goals.

  • A Critical Evaluation of the Public Consultation Process in Sustainable
    A critical evaluation of the public consultation process in sustainable urban development A Case Study of the Public Consultation on the Urban, Economic and Social Development Plan (PDUES) for areas surrounding the Turcot interchange in Montreal, Canada. Audrée Paquette Department of Human Geography, Stockholm University Master’s Thesis in Urban and Regional Planning, 30 HECs Spring term 2020 Supervisor: Andrew Byerley 0 Abstract The purpose of this study is to critically analyse how existing structures of public consultation articulate with the aim of achieving sustainable city development. Empirically, this study analysed the impact of public consultation on decision-making of the Urban, Economic and Social Development Plan (PDUES) for areas surrounding the Turcot interchange in the city of Montréal. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with people involved in this project and the perceptions and experiences of both processes expressed by the interviewees constitute the results of this study. The research further draws on theories of participatory democracy and urban political ecology. The study shows that the consultation process was transparent, flexible and open as there was a real willingness from all actors involved to get the best outcomes possible for the area. There was also a shared vision and agreement on what sustainability would mean and implicate for the neighborhood. However, once the consultations were over, communication between the South West borough and the population in regard to the project’s development seemed to have gradually diminished to nothing. As there is a clear imbalance between the first and the final stage of the public consultation process in term of collaboration and interaction, perhaps considering a legally-binding agreement that would cover the entire process could be a pertinent solution.

Although this structure was not at the end of its life, the location of the foundation elements was incompatible with the layout of the new Turcot interchange, forcing its re- DECK INSTALLATION placement. The location of the bridge also coincided with the Saint-Pierre collector buried BY LAUNCH in the ground. In order to replace the structure, the MTQ wanted a bridge with a strong architectural signature marking the entrance to downtown Montreal in this highly visible location from all directions. The selected structure is an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge with two continuous spans, of 55 and 65 m long. The deck is an orthotropic box type with variable inertia, en- tirely made of steel. It is supported by 10 guy lines (5 per span) which are supported by a steel pylon with variable geometry having a height of 55 m.
