The Promise & Peril of Transit-Oriented Development
Montreal is not a city you associate with transit-oriented development. The typical metro station is surrounded by medium-density walk-ups, and where higher density does exist it’s not necessarily correlated with transit. But while it’s no Vancouver or Washington, DC, Montreal has been building more density near transit over the past two decades than you probably realize. In this video we’re going to check in on some TOD around the city to explain the promising potential and the fundamental problem with transit-oriented development.
