Targeting Best practices from Around the World to Better the Attractiveness of Downtown Montreal

Despite its undeniable economic, cultural and tourist importance, downtown Montreal has been transformed by the pandemic and its future is uncertain. In the wake of the creation of the Alliance pour le centre-ville, MCV wants to undertake actions to improve the attractiveness of the territory and increase its international influence.

Volume10 conducted a thorough analysis of the best practices adopted by 40 city centers around the world and interviewed experts. Based on mobility, the commercial fabric, the feeling of security and the animation of the territory, its study served as a basis for proposing to MCV a roadmap made up of promising initiatives that promote the growth of the heart of Montreal.

Widely publicized in the media, the study conducted by Volume10 now serves as a reference point and source of inspiration for all of Montreal. It has mobilized the city center’s ecosystem and propelled new development projects.
