Land use and development plan - Land use and occupancy density

Land use and occupancy density reflect, at the normative level, the main directions of land use planning in the agglomeration of Montreal. The data available in this set mainly comes from the mapping in Chapter 3 of the Land Use Plan and Development Plan for the Agglomération de Montréal, i.e. land usage and occupancy density.

This urban planning and development plan for the agglomeration of Montreal outlines the main parameters that will guide the Montreal agglomeration council in decisions relating to land use planning in the coming years. From a perspective of sustainable development, this document guides decisions that shape the territory in order to promote compact and greener neighborhoods, to increase public and active transport travel, to support the economic dynamism of the agglomeration and to highlight areas of interest.
