Context

The provisions governing projects that generate microclimatic impacts are drawn from the following statements presented in Part I of the Master Plan:

• Action 7.1: Ensure high-quality architecture and design in the Centre.
• Action 7.4: Reinforce or improve the character of some key roadways in the Centre.
• Action 12.1: Promote quality architecture that is ecologically sound and respectful of Montréal’s character.

These provisions also aim more specifically to:

• Improve pedestrian comfort in public spaces (streets, parks, plazas and squares) by limiting the impacts of structures on wind and sun conditions.
