Montreal in a crystal ball
La Presse talked with several urbanists about the Montreal of the future at least partly to underline the importance of the decisions we’re making now, including specifically this election Sunday.

I’m really into the idea of the 15 minute city, but what’s missing from many conversations about density and urban living is also letting people get out into the countryside from time to time, which is really difficult with our current public transit set up. I’m optimistic about the Grand Parc de l’ouest, and hope they don’t screw it up by making people walk through a bunch of parking lots/condo developments between the park and the REM station, but we need more projects like that to get people to accept car-less living in the city. At least people like me.
Anyways, lots of interesting ideas in there about many topics.
