Montreal wants to build dense, walkable neighbourhoods. Can it deliver? | CBC News

Montreal's planning department has released a report advocating for denser neighborhoods to address climate change, housing shortages, and urban sprawl. The report suggests improving public transit, increasing mixed-use developments, and creating more affordable housing. Local residents have mixed reactions, with some supporting the environmental benefits and urban lifestyle, while others worry about reduced living space and strain on infrastructure. The city aims to balance the need for densification with maintaining neighborhood livability, and will use public consultations to shape future policies.
