| McGill University Community Sustainment |
| Introduction |
| Our mandate: | |
| To find for MUCS suitable potential sites for their residence | |
| AND | |
| To study les Habitations Jeanne-Mance as a possible area for integration of the MUCS project. |
| Methodology |
| We first identified neighbourhoods with high community organization. | |
| We then looked for clusters of areas with appropriate demographics and economies | |
| We visited these areas on foot to look for buildings and land. | |
| Finally, we consulted with knowledgable community members to identify further possible sites. |
| G.I.S. Results |
| Some Recommendations |
| MUCS may want to consider: | |
| GOING BIGGER: Coordinating with other universities | |
| GOING SMALLER: Splitting the project up into a number of 20-40 unit modules on different sites | |
| WORKING WITH GRTs: Letting | |
| professionals do some of the | |
| legwork. |
| Several Identified Sites |
| No 1. The Chest Institute, Plateau |
| No 2.- Mont Royal Bldg., Plateau |
| No 3.- Halbro Building, Plateau |
| No 4.- Industrial Bldg., Rosemont |
| No 5.- Tree Storage Bldg., Rosemont |
| No 6.- Industrial Bldg., Hochelaga |
| Analysis of Habitation Jeanne-Mance |
| Introduction |
| HJM is Montreal¹s only³large scale² social housing project. | |

| A Brief History of Les Habitations |
| The context: Following Depression and War, huge housing shortage in Canada. | |
| Dozois Report future Jeanne Mance site one of 13 studied. | |
| Plan for ³La Cité Radieuse Au Centre de Montréal² | |
| History ContinuedŠ |
| Mayor Drapeau has a competing plan smaller buildings w/gardens vs towers | |
| Area had been crowded, many homes w/ poor ventilation, light & plumbing | |
| End result is a compromise construction starts 1958. | |
| Instead of 1388 units, only 800 built | |
| to replace 1383 torn down. |

| Issues to Consider |
| The UQAM factor why should McGill students live next to two French schools? | |
| The political factor why should private developers and others be frozen out if MUCS gets in? | |
| The resident factor do HJM residents want new neighbours? |
