Put the core in Concordia

Concordia University owns several sites in the heart of downtown Montreal. The project aims to revitalize spaces already accessible to the public, making them more attractive, user-friendly and breathing soul into them, while meeting public health guidelines. The concept should also integrate active modes of transportation. There is a lack of safe bike parking for Concordia’s student population and other campus users. Through a participatory urban planning model, including an ideation process with the local community, ideas and concerns will be collated. Target groups that make up the neighbourhood's social fabric, such as seniors, immigrants, the vulnerable and the homeless, will be consulted, integrated into the process and asked to express their vision for designing vibrant spaces.
