Montréal sets six priorities in 2026–2030 strategic plan

The City of Montréal has published a strategic plan intended to guide its decisions, investments and actions through 2030.

The plan groups the city’s work under six priorities: exceptional living environments; a prosperous and vibrant metropolis; housing and the social safety net; planned, effective and inclusive mobility; a green, resilient and sustainable city; and efficient municipal management.

Montréal says the framework responds to a shortage of affordable housing, more frequent extreme weather, an infrastructure deficit, social pressures and constraints on public finances. Each objective is to be tracked through targets and indicators, while municipal units will prepare implementation roadmaps.

The document is a citywide planning framework rather than approval of a particular project or budget. Details are available in the City of Montréal’s strategic-plan page, updated October 5, 2026.
