The urban Ecology Center invites you to participate in the first Montreal conference on sustainable development of neighbourhoods. We would like to underline the work done at the neighbourhood level in Montreal, in urban neighbourhoods elsewhere in Quebec, and even worldwide in order to inspire the Montreal community and strengthen the will to make of Montreal a sustainable city. Furthermore, we want to emphasize the links between social, economic, environmental and democratic issues on a practical level.
