OUR MISSION

The Montréal Urban Ecology Centre’s mission is to build and share expertise concerning the most viable and
democratic approaches to sustainable urban development.

OUR APPROACH

Inspired by ‘Social Ecology’, the Centre questions the relationship between nature and society and sees these two elements as tightly interrelated. We emphasize the importance of the neighbourhood and city levels and the fundamental right of citizens to take part in decisions that relate to the management of urban affairs.

OUR MAJOR PROJECTS

During 2008-2009, we were involved in numerous singularly relevant and innovative projects. Three of them kept
us most busy:
• Green, Active and Healthy Neighbourhoods
• 5th Montreal Citizen Summit
• Habiter une ville durable Exhibition
