Considering that the protection and enhancement of urban heritage and landscape require an efficient, rigorous and consistent implementation of the planning orientations and rules expressed in the Montreal Urban Master Plan (2004) and Heritage Policy (2005) applied by teams with the necessary expertise and autonomy at the local, municipal and metropolitan levels to ensure the realisation of quality urban projects which are relevant and for the common good,<\/p>\n

Considering that since the Annual General Meeting of the members of Heritage Montreal on June 4, 2009 adopted a resolution asking for the reestablishment of the Montreal Service d\u2019urbanisme and the initiation of the process of updating the Montreal Master Plan with the Office de consultation publique, the City of Montreal and many boroughs have engaged in doing so,<\/p>\n

The Annual General Meeting of the members of Heritage Montreal endorses the following best practice principles and proposes that they are widely communicated, in particular to authorities and developers, so as to contribute to improving the Montreal model for urban development:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Relevance and receivability of the project;<\/li>\n
  2. Genuine respect for heritage \u2013 built, landscape, commemorative, archaeological, natural \u2013 and the urban context;<\/li>\n
  3. Exemplarity of the project\u2019s development and evaluation process by authorities and developer;<\/li>\n
  4. Innovative and creative aspects of project as a model;<\/li>\n
  5. Sustainable contribution of the project to the city\u2019s heritage and to its qualities now and in the future (25 year horizon).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-71703","resolutions","type-resolutions","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nResolution on urban planning and development in Montreal – H\u00e9ritage Montr\u00e9al<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heritagemontreal.org\/en\/resolutions\/resolution-on-urban-planning-and-development-in-montreal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Resolution on urban planning and development in Montreal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Considering that the protection and enhancement of urban heritage and landscape require an efficient, rigorous and consistent implementation of the planning orientations and rules expressed in the Montreal Urban Master Plan (2004) and Heritage Policy (2005) applied by teams with the necessary expertise and autonomy at the local, municipal and metropolitan levels to ensure the […]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.heritagemontreal.org\/en\/resolutions\/resolution-on-urban-planning-and-development-in-montreal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"H\u00e9ritage Montr\u00e9al\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/heritagemontreal\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-10-02T16:51:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.heritagemontreal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/og_image-5.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"925\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"482\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@heritagemtl\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heritagemontreal.org\\\/en\\\/resolutions\\\/resolution-on-urban-planning-and-development-in-montreal\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heritagemontreal.org\\\/en\\\/resolutions\\\/resolution-on-urban-planning-and-development-in-montreal\\\/\",\"name\":\"Resolution on urban planning and development in Montreal – H\u00e9ritage Montr\u00e9al\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heritagemontreal.org\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-10-02T16:49:35+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-10-02T16:51:40+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heritagemontreal.org\\\/en\\\/resolutions\\\/resolution-on-urban-planning-and-development-in-montreal\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heritagemontreal.org\\\/en\\\/resolutions\\\/resolution-on-urban-planning-and-development-in-montreal\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heritagemontreal.org\\\/en\\\/resolutions\\\/resolution-on-urban-planning-and-development-in-montreal\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Accueil\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heritagemontreal.org\\\/en\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"R\u00e9solutions\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heritagemontreal.org\\\/en\\\/resolutions\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Resolution on urban planning and development in Montreal\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heritagemontreal.org\\\/en\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.heritagemontreal.org\\\/en\\\/\",\"name\":\"H\u00e9ritage Montr\u00e9al -
