Complexe Environmental de Saint Michel (CESM)
This is an ongoing project in Montréal, to be finished in 2017 (in time for Montréal's 375th birthday). Once completed, it will be one of Montréal's largest urban park with 192 hectares (Mount Royal park is 190 hectares, just to give an idea.).

This site had a long history of industries. It was for 60 years a quarry (Montréal grey-stone, used for most of the city's stone buildings), and then a garbage site for another 30 years. The site was eventually closed in the 90's, and the first plan was to have suburbian-style shopping center. After public consultations, this idea was rejected, and a brand new environmental park was to be created.

With the highest standards in sustainable development, this project is set to revive the Saint-Michel Neighborhood, which is one of Montréal's poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods.The project can be split into two sections; the periphery, and the interior.

The outside site is divided into four functions; cultural, industrial, sports, and educational. Many institutions have moved there, like the Cirque du Soleil headquarters, L'École du Cirque, Recycling and compost centers, in addition to soccer fields, kids playground, etc.
The inner part will be green space. But due to the garbage below, many bio-gas wells have been implanted all through the site. The soil used is not shipped from all over Québec, but uses decomposing material (leaves, branches, and wood from the city) to fill in the site.

Promenade Smith - Griffintown. 30$ millions.
The winner of the Promenade Smith project has been announced today, competitors from all over the country have send in their project, and it is NIP PAYSAGE that was announced winner.

The project is a revitalization of a industrial part of town, Griffintown. Griffintown was a poor Irish neighborhood, filled with many warehouses due to its location along the Lachine Canal and closeness to downtown (app. 10 minutes). In the past 10 years or so, many residential developments have been springing right and left, and many more are proposed (district Griffith Phase 1-4, Carré de la Montagne, etc.). So the Promenade Smith project was a way of humanizing Griffintown, bringing new much-needed life and green space to the area.

Here is the site today:



Here are the plans by NIP PAYSAGE.
