Leveraging data 

LIUM uses data to help individuals and society make informed decisions. Public access to this data fosters the development of more inclusive and sustainable urban projects, as well as democracy and civic participation. Data can be used in many ways, such as developing tools and applications in several areas, including how we get around (networks, traffic obstructions, bike traffic, etc.), housing sanitation, crime and air quality. 

A co-creation approach 

To generate and test new ideas, LIUM organizes workshops with a project’s stakeholders, who may include the public at large, businesses municipal staff and partners, in order to understand everyone’s needs and design a solution. 

Testing new technologies and solutions 

LIUM members research and test solutions and evaluate their social and institutional impact to launch new projects, solutions and services for the entire population. For example, the LocoMotion neighbourhood mobility project was tested in a few different neighbourhoods before being rolled out across Montréal.
