Named after Super City, a kit(...)

Since children see possibilities that adults might not, we need their help. In this program, they will address real questions and complaints posed by people in Montreal, analyse them, and develop imaginative responses that(...)

Description:
What would a city look like if its infrastructure was waterproof, buoyant and–why not!–amphibious? Given the anticipated rise of sea level at a global scale, the connection between the city and water in all its iterations–oceans, rivers, canals, waterways–is subject to change in the coming years. Montreal will be the playground of this creative laboratory of prototypes(...)
