Montreal Urban Plan Building Height Limits for Ville-Marie

Government and Municipalities of Québec provides a dataset representing building height limits prescribed by the now-repealed Urban Plan for the Ville-Marie borough and parts of Sud-Ouest and Verdun districts. The data is available in HTML, SHP, and GEOJSON formats but is obsolete as of June 16, 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of building height limits across the Ville-Marie borough using the SHP or GEOJSON geometry data.
• Compare prescribed height limits from this dataset with potentially more restrictive values in district zoning by-laws.
• Visualize the geographic extent of the repealed Urban Plan regulations for historical planning studies.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple spatial formats (SHP, GEOJSON) for GIS analysis.
• Provenance is clearly documented as originating from the Government and Municipalities of Québec.

Limitations

• The dataset is obsolete, as the Urban Plan regulation was repealed on June 16, 2025.
• Specific data metrics like row count, column count, and sample data are unavailable for assessment.
