Montreal Mixed Metropolis Regulation Application Maps

Geospatial data outlines areas and projects subject to Montreal's Mixed Metropolis By-law. The dataset is provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec and was last updated in April 2026. It supports enforcement and analysis of agreements requiring large residential developments to contribute to social, affordable, or family housing.

Use Cases

• Identify residential project footprints exceeding 18,000 m² using geospatial polygon features to enforce by-law compliance.
• Analyze the geographic distribution of social housing contributions mandated by the regulation using location attributes.
• Visualize zones impacted by the Mixed Metropolis By-law on interactive maps for public communication and planning reviews.
• Cross-reference project locations with demographic or economic datasets to assess policy impact on different neighborhoods.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple standard geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP).
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.
• Maintained by an official government source (Government and Municipalities of Québec).

Limitations

• Specific data volume (row count) and attribute columns are not documented.
