Best Practices for Industrial Projects

Project

The City of Montréal’s Handbooks of Best Practices for Design and Architecture Quality for Industrial Sites provide concrete solution avenues to inspire action and guide exchanges among companies, promoters and decision-makers.

Engaging industrial companies and promoters as key allies is essential when developing or redeveloping Montréal’s industrial areas to implement innovative, high-quality occupancy models.

1. Handbook lists 84 best practices to inspire action.
2. Handbook proposes a classification of the various types of industrial siting contexts.
3. Handbook presents 35 exemplary local and international projects illustrating best practices.

Though they have no regulatory scope, the Handbooks are the entry point for broader thinking on the quality of industrial projects in Montréal.

The Handbooks were developed in collaboration with the firm Lemay, mandated as principal provider responsible for researching and writing the documents

Mission

With the Handbooks, the City hopes to prompt greater contributions from industrial projects and sites in implementing the Montréal 2030 Agenda for Quality and Exemplarity in Design and Architecture and delivering on the aspirations stated in the Montréal 2030 Future Vision as well as the City’s other plans and policies, including the 2050 Mobility and Urban Development Plan and the 2020–2030 Climate Plan.
