Cre­at­ing sus­tain­able and equi­table cities through munic­i­pal policies Creating sustainable and equitable cities through municipal policies

Munic­i­pal invest­ments in the built envi­ron­ment have long-term con­se­quences for cities and local com­mu­ni­ties that extend beyond their orig­i­nal objec­tives. For exam­ple, trans­porta­tion poli­cies aimed at reduc­ing green­house gas emis­sions can have con­se­quences for both the health of cit­i­zens and social equi­ty. The con­struc­tion of new bike paths to pro­mote phys­i­cal activ­i­ty can con­tribute to increas­ing or reduc­ing equi­ty between dif­fer­ent pop­u­la­tions. New bike paths pro­mote equi­ty if they are built in neigh­bor­hoods that are poor­ly served by bike paths, encour­ag­ing new pop­u­la­tions to adopt an active, safe mode of transportation.

Sci­ence and strate­gic planning Science and strategic planning

In col­lab­o­ra­tion with Sphère­Lab and Antès, the Cité-ID Liv­ing Lab is sup­port­ing the Quarti­er des Spec­ta­cles Part­ner­ship (PQDS) in its strate­gic plan­ning process, with the goal of anchor­ing the organization’s choic­es and vision in sci­en­tif­ic evi­dence. Our approach com­bines a busi­ness design per­spec­tive, which makes it pos­si­ble to trans­form an idea into a viable prod­uct over the long-term, and the co-pro­duc­tion of pub­lic ser­vices that pri­or­i­tizes citizen-users.

Analy­sis of the imple­men­ta­tion of the Com­mon Oper­at­ing Pic­ture in London Analysis of the implementation of the Common Operating Picture in London

For more than eight years, Lon­don Resilience Group has facil­i­tat­ed a week­ly tele­con­fer­ence between a wide range of part­ners from across the pub­lic, pri­vate and third sec­tors in Lon­don. This serves a hori­zon scan­ning func­tion and enables updates and infor­ma­tion to be shared rel­e­vant to pre­pared­ness for pre-planned or inci­dents. This is cap­tured with­in a doc­u­ment called the Com­mon Oper­at­ing Pic­ture (COP) that is cir­cu­lat­ed across the partnership.

The Saint-Michel North Hous­ing project The Saint-Michel North Housing project

This action-research project was ini­ti­at­ed by a recent­ly cre­at­ed social inno­va­tion unit of the Mon­tréal munic­i­pal hous­ing office (Office munic­i­pal d’habitation or OMHM). It aims to devel­op a social inno­va­tion effort as part of the project to remod­el the Saint-Michel North hous­ing project and sub­se­quent relo­ca­tion of ten­ants. All par­ties are involved in the under­tak­ing, includ­ing ten­ants of the hous­ing project, OMHM employ­ees, and pub­lic and com­mu­ni­ty part­ner orga­ni­za­tions. Cité-ID is accom­pa­ny­ing and doc­u­ment­ing the OMHM ini­tia­tive in order to iden­ti­fy orga­ni­za­tion­al mech­a­nisms estab­lished by the OMHM and oth­er stake­hold­ers to cre­ate the con­di­tions required for a healthy, safe, har­mo­nious, open and resilient liv­ing environment.

Approach to Devel­op a Col­lab­o­ra­tive Gov­er­nance for Risk Assess­ment Gov­er­nance of Crit­i­cal Infrastructures Approach to Develop a Collaborative Governance for Risk Assessment Governance of Critical Infrastructures

This action research project ini­ti­at­ed by Oura­nos, aims to build a glob­al risk assess­ment approach for crit­i­cal infra­struc­tures in two Region­al coun­ty munic­i­pal­i­ties in the con­text of cli­mate change. Cité-ID sup­ports the real­iza­tion of this project through a col­lab­o­ra­tive gov­er­nance process. Fund­ed by the Min­istry of Pub­lic Secu­ri­ty and the Green Fund, this ini­tia­tive is car­ried out in part­ner­ship with Poly­tech­nique Mon­tréal, experts in risk management.
