AI Article Summary
Craig Sauvé, leader of Transition Montréal and mayoral candidate, aims to make Montreal the North American capital of affordable housing by 2050. He proposes a new municipal subsidiary to build public and social housing quickly and cost-effectively. The plan includes tenant protection measures and a diversified housing supply, with a focus on strengthening the existing mixed metropolis regulation, in contrast to his opponents.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project demonstrates how municipal initiatives can drive the rapid construction of affordable housing, impacting permits and timelines by reducing bureaucratic hurdles. For Quebec builders, this means increased opportunities to engage in collaborative projects with non-profits and cooperatives. The establishment of Bâtir Montréal could also provide a chance to use prefabrication techniques to meet fast construction goals.
