2007 Open House Design Montréal Program

The Montréal, UNESCO City of Design document is the application package prepared by the Design Montréal office (now the Bureau du design) with the participation of the design industry, at the request of Benoit Labonté, Montréal Executive Committee member responsible for Culture, Heritage, Downtown Montréal and Design.

The city of Montréal drew on its highly rewarding experience with the Commerce Design Montréal competition to create this short guide on trends in the connection between business and design. The organizers analyzed the valuable information collected from 1995 to 2004 through surveys and participants’ submissions.
This is a unique and reliable goldmine of information for all Quebec businesses, one they can use to better measure the potential of commercial design as a strategic tool in their success.
