The workshop "Une ville pour jouer", organized by the City of Montreal and by the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Montréal, was a follow-up to research carried out by the "Mobility, urban planning, and environment" axis, directed by Juan Torres (UdeM), whose recommendations were published in the report Exploration des rôles possibles de la Ville de Montréal pour une politique de l'enfant (pp. 11-26). The purpose of this initiative was to stimulate reflection and the development of concrete and concerted actions to make Montreal a play-friendly city for children.

In front of a captive audience of public servants and community stakeholders, Juan Torres and his colleagues Katherine Frohlich (UdeM, CReSP), Mikael St-Pierre (CEUM) and Ipek Epikmen (UdeM) presented concrete actions to fuel collective reflection and to encourage the formation of a diverse and inclusive community of practice around play and childhood in the urban space.ÌýYou can view their PowerPoint presentations below.
In the interest of keeping a record of the workshop and of the insights it provided, a summary sheet was produced by CIRM team members Karolina Roman and Amélie Ducharme, under the direction of Stéphan Gervais. The sheet outlines the thinking that emerged from the workshop, such as the projects aiming to develop playing opportunities in the city for children. The PDF file is available below.
