About Us

We are a team of 40 students at the McGill University School of Urban Planning who have been working on a redevelopment plan for the Hippodrome site for a graduate studio project. Our proposal is the culmination of work conducted by eight teams of students examining the Hippodrome site from different perspectives, including community demand, finance, governance, policy, built form, social infrastructure, circulation, and ecology and public space.

 

Data was gathered through independent research, professional and academic mentorship, public consultation documents, census data, and course material. Each team’s work has been integrated into a holistic community plan which we have termed Habitat Hippodrome.
