Montreal Urban Land Use Categories from Repealed Plan

Ten distinct land use categories defined a now-obsolete urban planning regulation for Montreal. The dataset, which was repealed on June 16, 2025, includes categories for residential, mixed-use, diversified activities, employment sectors, and exclusive zones for institutional, agricultural, and conservation uses. It is provided by the Government and Municipalities of Québec in shapefile and GeoJSON formats.

Use Cases

• Analyze the spatial distribution of the ten land use categories, such as residential and employment sectors, for historical urban form studies.
• Compare the repealed plan's designated areas for large institutional facilities or agricultural zones against current land use data.
• Map the location of conservation areas and large green spaces as defined under the old regulatory framework.

Strengths

• Includes ten specific land use categories with defined urban environments and exclusive activity zones.
• Data is provided in multiple spatial formats (SHP, GEOJSON) suitable for GIS analysis.
• Provenance is clear, sourced from the Government and Municipalities of Québec's official planning documents.

Limitations

• The dataset is explicitly marked as obsolete, having been repealed on June 16, 2025, limiting its utility for current planning.
• No sample data or column schema is available, making the exact data structure and attributes unknown.
