The vision for the redevelopment of the Les Bassins du Nouveau Havre site was defined in 2008 using a participative approach which involved obtaining feedback community stakeholders, municipal authorities and the public.

Developing a Community

An inclusive community naturally inserted into its environment

Creating a Vibrant Community
