A public square resilient to climatic hazards
This meeting, gathering, and activity space will be open to the public in all seasons and will demonstrate resilience to climatic hazards, particularly the recurrent flooding in this sector of the borough. It is an exceptional opportunity to implement best construction practices in flood-prone areas and even develop innovative solutions.
This public square, with an area of approximately 11,000 square meters, will also serve as a cooling island, in addition to being accessible and inclusive, to meet the needs of a diverse population.
The construction budget for the project, part of the borough’s Ten-Year Capital Expenditure Programme (CEP), is $3,700,000 before tax.
