L’Institut de politiques alternatives de Montréal (IPAM) est heureux de vous inviter à une table-ronde ayant pour sujet le Plan de développement de Montréal.
Cette rencontre se tiendra dans les bureaux de Rayside Labossière, au 1215 rue Ontario est (Montréal), le mercredi 21 août 2013, de 17h à 19h, dans un contexte informel de type « 5 à 7 ».
Comme vous n’êtes pas sans savoir, Montréal adoptera prochainement son Plan de développement, lequel fait suite au Plan métropolitain d’aménagement et de développement (PMAD) et auquel s’arrimera le prochain Plan d’urbanisme. Étant donné l’importance de ce document, qui définit la vision pour le Montréal de demain, l’IPAM croit important d’offrir aux membres de la société civile, aux élaborateurs du Plan et aux élus une occasion de partager leurs idées et réflexions sur le sujet. Loin de vouloir se substituer à la démarche de l’Office de consultation publique de Montréal (OCPM), l’objectif de la rencontre est d’échanger librement pour enrichir notre compréhension collective des enjeux et des éléments de vision porteurs, en plus de permettre aux parties prenantes du développement montréalais de se connaître et de comparer leur point de vue.
Deux principales questions seront traitées :
- Les éléments forts du Plan qui constituent la base de réflexion et à partir desquels travailler
- Les aspects à ajouter, à bonifier ou à corriger pour réaliser un Plan à l’image de Montréal
Afin de maximiser le temps de discussion, prenez note qu’aucune présentation du Plan de développement ne sera faite en introduction. Le Plan et tous les documents liés à la consultation sont disponibles sur le site de la Ville de Montréal et sur le site de l’OCPM :

Creative Industries : Catalysts of Growth and Exposure for the Metropolis
/in Economic and Cultural Development /by IPAMThe Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal released the results of its study The creative industries: catalysts of wealth and influence for Metropolitan Montréal. The study shows that these industries generated economic benefits of $8.6 billion and provided the city with 91,500 direct jobs in 2012.
“Over and over, we have witnessed the genius of our creators, and their success helps build the city’s international reputation,” said Michel Leblanc, President and CEO of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal. “We already knew that the city was a leading centre of creativity; the study released today proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Montréal is one of North America’s most important major cities for the creative industries. This finding is more than just a source of pride, since the creative industries, which include architecture and design, the arts, media, multimedia, fashion and advertising, generate skilled jobs in sectors of the future and create exclusive products and original experiences, for which global demand is booming.”
