Consultation with Montréal design and architecture stakeholders : it's happening on October 23!

Montréal has engaged the Institut du Nouveau Monde (INM) to assemble civil society and all stakeholders concerned by the issues surrounding the quality of buildings and of public- and private-sector development within the city to take part in developing the first Montreal Agenda for Quality in Design and Architecture 

Are you a professional or an entrepreneur? Do you represent a business, institution, or organization? Are you a citizen or service user? If so, your opinions and ideas for facing the challenges related to sustainability and excellence in urban development are vital.

About the Montréal Agenda for Quality in Design and Architecture

With a vision focused on developing a shared culture of design through a participatory and inclusive process, the Agenda is intended to serve as a municipal tool for mobilization and engagement toward the well-being of present and future generations. It is being developed through a process of consultation and joint action with design and architecture practitioners, managers and professionals working for the boroughs, and core municipal departments, along with many public- and private-sector stakeholders concerned with Montréal’s urban, economic, social, and cultural development.
