Neighborhoods and Living Environments<\/span><\/span><\/h1>

What role and capacity for action do neighborhoods have in the systemic transformations expected as part of the socio-ecological transition?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Neighborhoods are the fertile ground where the transition takes root. It takes shape in everyday life, through neighborhood dynamics, social ties, a sense of belonging, and access to basic services. They are the settings for concrete action, for addressing inequalities, and for fostering vibrant solidarity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Espace Quartiers is a space for solidarity and mutual support among neighborhoods that builds the capacity of grassroots actors and fosters the development of collective solutions for the socio-ecological transition.

Through its core group, the \u201cGrandes rencontres,\u201d neighborhood visits, and the \u201cEspace solutions,\u201d it mobilizes Montreal\u2019s community leaders and helps ensure that neighborhood perspectives are heard within the TEC initiative.
