In 2018 and 2019, the Habitations Jeanne-Mance (HJM) parking lots underwent major renovations. These revitalization projects focused on strengthening HJM’s commitment to the environment through the creation of a second green parking lot that allows rainwater infiltration and reduces the urban heat island effect. In order to ensure the project’s success and tenants’ understanding of the larger issues at stake, MU and HJM organized participative artistic street marking activities.
