The focus of the winning proposal is the development of a large, unifying park in the heart of the neighbourhood. The jury, presided by architect and urban designer Ken Greenberg, was swayed by this idea. This vast green area will promote outdoor activities, foster social exchanges and create a strong identity for the neighbourhood. Several other elements, such as the development of treed squares, shared roads and a marketplace were put forward to transform the sector into a very attractive residential neighbourhood.
Thanks to the development proposed by Catalyse Urbaine, Le Triangle could become a sustainable solution to the urban sprawl of young families. It will offer an alternative to the suburbs and convince families to settle on the Island of Montréal in a living environment that will meet their needs and respect their values.
The jury also awarded a special mention to the submission by Groupe CHB – IBI INC.
