This issue is still related to the cost of living and transportation – much has been said about 3e The link, REM in Montreal (Metropolitan Express Network) and even the tramway.
How to make municipalities lively, accessible and sensitive to the issues of those who live there – think especially of aging populations and ‘age-friendly’ municipalities.

When it comes to housing, we have long appreciated suburban living. However, in recent years, a new trend appears to be taking shape, the trend towards condensation: cities grow by condensing their centers rather than spreading out. New trend or old? Urban sprawl, is it outdated?
