Carmela Cucuzzella and Anne Cormier awarded a SSRHC Partnership Development Grant
Title: CoLLaboratoire for Activating Multi-Modal Mobility (CAM): One Public Space at a Time
Chair Ideas-be (Leap@Concordia)
Co-Applicants: Anne Cormier, Zackary Patterson, Carolyn Hatch
Partners: City of Montreal, CRE Montreal, Jalon MTL, Velo Mtl,.
The overall goal of this partnership is to raise awareness and encourage behavior shifts towards more sustainable urban mobility by understanding how public spaces can become knowledge exchange nodes. Its aims to move the climate change conversation into our community (raising awareness) and to awaken environmental behavior (engagement) to empower citizens to change their urban mobility behavior.
The first objective is to identify, analyze, and understand the best practices in other cities in North America and Europe for public space interventions that encourage citizens to embrace multi-modal mobility. The second objective is to test, through a series of community workshops, in three different areas in the City of Montreal, these methods (along with others). The workshops will allow the co-development of ideas for public spaces – ideas that will help citizens better understand issues related to multi-modal mobility and encourage behavior shifts. The ideas developed during the workshops will be presented in exhibitions, both online and in the public realm to further build dialogues with the community. The third objective is to develop these exercises, tools, and methods, into an exportable platform.
