PROJECT SUMMARY

The mandate consisted of carrying out a specific urban planning program (PPU) following the City's desire to requalify part of its buisness park located in a TOD (transit-oriented development) area. In addition to ensuring consistency with the objectives of the Metropolitan Land Use and Development Plan (PMAD), this sector constitutes the strategic activity center for the Sainte-Catherinoise community and is structuring at the regional level. 

By integrating the LEED ND principles, we have created a district on a human scale respecting good practices of density and mixed uses. In addition, sustainable mobility was at the heart of the planning principles by integrating the concepts of sharing the street for the various users (pedestrians, cyclists and cars).
