The Ville-Marie borough is launching an open and anonymous urban design ideas competition on March 28, 2012, as a preliminary step in the implementation of the Quartier des Spectacles - Quartier Latin Hub Urban Planning Program (PPU).
The competition focuses on issues related to the development of new residential typologies and urban planning in the Quartier des Spectacles - Quartier Latin Hub in Montreal. The competition comprises two components: (A) Architecture and (B) Landscaping. Component A - Architecture - focuses on the challenges related to the formalization and planning of housing typologies. These typologies will serve as a basis for developers' selection of future projects and the specific development of a standard housing model in collaboration with the SHDM (Société d'habitation et de développement de Montréal - Montreal Housing and Development Corporation).
In this category, the jury rewarded competitors who proposed consolidating certain strategic sectors of the Latin Quarter in addition to developing design concepts that reconcile work and housing. From apartments for trendy young people to green and community housing, competitors proposed innovative solutions for pleasant downtown living. In these proposals, urban activity and housing form a harmonious whole to revitalize the neighborhood. The SHDM and the borough will work with the winners to implement new types of housing to respond to new ways of living in the city.
