63. Public policy tools to implement transit-oriented development: The case of the Montreal city-region

Abstract

Over the last 25 years, Transit-oriented development (TOD) has become one of the core models of planning in North American cities. However, the implementation of TOD is still hindered by various barriers (institutional, political, economical, etc.) leading cities to develop specific policy tools to support TOD. But while TOD has generated a substantial body of research, literature has paid little attention to its implementation processes, from metropolitan-scale planning to local urban development projects, and the policy tools designed by governments to support TOD. To fill this gap, this paper shifts the focus by analysing the public policy tools used to support TOD implementation, based on a case study of Montreal. It argues that the inclusion of TOD in metropolitan-scale planning has led metropolitan government to develop new public action tools to support the implementation of TOD. It proposes a typology of these tools (regulatory, informative, institutional, good practices and project-based) and examines their differentiated uses and implementation. It demonstrates that these instruments--mostly incentives--are both mirrors and vectors of changes in the planning and governance of the Montreal city-region, favoring collective learning about TOD, new inter-institutional cooperation and shifts in planning practices. This work thus provides empirical evidence of the renewal of planning strategies and the diversification of public policy tools associated with transit-oriented development in Montreal. These are consistent with similar ongoing processes in other Canadian cities. Keywords: transit-oriented development, planning, implementation, public policy instruments, Montreal Au cours des 25 dernières années, le Transit-oriented development est devenu l'un des principaux modèles de planification dans les villes nord-américaines. Cependant, la mise en œuvre du TOD se heurte à différents obstacles (institutionnels, politiques, économiques, etc.) qui poussent les villes à développer des instruments d'action publique spécifiques pour accompagner les projets urbains de TOD. Si le TOD est l'objet d'un champ de recherche foisonnant, les travaux se sont encore peu intéressés à l'analyse des processus concrets de mise en œuvre du TOD, de la planification à l'échelle métropolitaine aux projets urbains locaux, ainsi qu'aux instruments conçus par les acteurs publics pour soutenir cette lacune, cet article analyse les instruments de politique publique utilisés pour accompagner la mise en œuvre du TOD dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal. L'article démontre que l'intégration du TOD dans la planification à l'échelle métropolitaine a conduit l'institution métropolitaine à développer de nouveaux outils d'action publique pour soutenir la mise en œuvre de son plan. L'article propose une typologie de ces outils (réglementaire, informatif, institutionnel, pédagogique et par projet) et examine leurs usages et leur mise en œuvre différenciés. Il démontre que ces instruments--essentiellement incitatifs--sont à la fois les miroirs et les vecteurs de changements dans la planification et la gouvernance de la région métropolitaine de Montréal, favorisant l'apprentissage collectif de la TOD, une nouvelle coopération interinstitutionnelle et des changements dans les pratiques d'aménagement. Ce travail fournit donc des preuves empiriques du renouvellement des stratégies de planification et la diversification des outils de politique publique associés au TOD à Montréal, de façon comparable à des processus similaires en cours dans d'autres villes canadiennes. Mots-clés: développement axé sur le transport en commun, planification, mise en œuvre, instrument de politique publique, Montréal, Introduction Since the late 1990s, transit-oriented development (TOD) has become one of the core spatial planning models of North American cities (Cervero et al. 2004).
