" Pedestrian and Shared Streets: Safety and Walkability "
by , published
Through a program to implement pedestrian and shared streets (PIRPP), the city of Montreal wanted to further improve meeting spaces for its citizens and tourists. The Simon-Valois meeting zone project, for which the competition was launched in 2017, was part of a series of municipal projects designed to enhance the pedestrian experience. Located in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough, the site chosen for this project was strategic given its commercial and cultural environment.

The Canadian Academy of Architecture for Justice (CAAJ) invites architecture students to speculate on issues ranging from the influx of highly addictive drugs to the suppression of Indigenous culture to an ever-increasing need for mental health care facilities in a design competition for a new community-oriented building that helps to fill a gap. This involves the selection of a site in a community of the competitor's choice, identification of the specific crisis (or crises) being addressed, and the development of an architectural or urban design solution. Design submissions will be evaluated by a jury of justice experts, architects and industry professionals. Participants are highly encouraged to explore a wide spectrum of architectural responses from functional and practical at one end to philosophical and social at the other, including ways in which the building integrates into the community, and acts as a catalyst for building positive relationships with the community it serves.
