Socio-economic outlook
City Centre Report (in French, État du centre-ville or ECV) is a free quarterly report, accessible to anyone, that provides the socio-economic outlook of Montreal’s downtown core. This project is led by Montréal centre-ville and the Urban Development Institute (UDI) of Quebec (in French, Institut de développement urbain or IDU). It is made possible through the financial support of the City of Montreal and the collaboration of public and private partners who contribute to financing the initiative or sharing the data compiled by Altus Group. City Centre Report aims to measure the effect of the COVID-19 crisis and shed light on efforts to revive the city. ”
Free, accessible to everyone, unbiased
City Centre Report comes in the form of a quarterly summary report available through this website and a newsletter review sent to members and partners of UDI and Montréal centre-ville. The information will also be published on social networks and provided as a special insert in Montréal Centre-Ville magazine. The data presented in this report will also be available on Montreal’s open data website (donnees.montreal.ca). No matter what the form, City Centre Report is free. It was created for public decision-makers, businesspeople, university researchers, and citizens. City Centre Report has no political bent. We publicize quality data, updated every quarter, which can be used by any group, citizen, or association that is concerned with the success of Montreal and of Quebec in general.
