Our Five Principles of Excellence in Urban Development

1. Pertinence:

Relevance and validity of the project: Response to collective needs, carrying capacity of the site from a symbolic, heritage, physical, social, and functional perspective;

2. Respect for heritage and urban context:

Five types of heritage: built, urban landscape, archaeological, historical, and natural; character and scale; compatibility of uses; contribution to ‘strollability’ and urbanity;

3. Exemplary nature and credibility of the consultation and project development process:

Relationship with residents and other stakeholders; preliminary studies, independence and effectiveness of consultations;

4. Innovative aspects in concept and its implementation:

An innovative or creative solution to urban or heritage issues, potential to constitute an inspiring model for other sites;

5. Durability: Sustainable contribution to Montreal’s heritage both now and in the future:

Anticipated impact of the project in at least twenty-five years after completion, contribution to the heritage and urban quality of city life of future generations.
