Montreal
Will all the changes in our neighbourhoods lead to a healthier city?
The Montreal Area is continuing the shift towards sustainable development and our neighbourhoods are seeing changes. There are more bike paths, more green spaces, more pedestrian areas, and better transit. Can all these changes have an impact on a bigger scale? Will they make the city a happier and healthier place to be? We’re checking in with thousands of people from the Montreal region to find out, and we want you along for the ride!
In 2018, INTERACT launched a multi-year study to uncover how urban changes in the Montreal region are impacting physical activity, social connectedness, and well-being of residents – and whether these impacts are felt equally across different socioeconomic groups.
Thank you, Montreal!
