1. Territorial Issues

2. Issues Related to Urban Territories
How space should be used can be a territorial Issues
Sometimes leaders and residents of a city disagree how our space should be used
There are three major issues related to the urban Territory:
1) Transportation
2)Housing
3) Waste Management

3. Transportation
In a metropolis like Montreal we have traffic issues due to several issues:
In Montreal the amount of cars is increasing faster than the population
Due to our high population and most people working at the same time it causes major issues in traffic flow
Small accidents can cause severe delays, rush hour can double and triple travel time
Pollution from cars can also lead to smog

4. Solutions to transportation issues
To reduce pollution and traffic there are several things we can do
1) Public transportation
2) Bicycles and Bicycle paths
3) Car pooling

5. Housing Issues
Finding a place to live can be difficult as there are less houses in Montreal than we need to house everybody
Houses that are available may be too expensive
Households should not spend more than 1/3 of their budget on housing
2/3 of tenants in Montreal are paying more than 50 percent of their budget
There is a movement in Quebec to get the government to build more affordable housing

6. Waste Management In Quebec we generate 20 tonnes of waste every minute
Many Montrealers are turning to more environmentally friendly methods for garbage collection
One way is to follow the 3 r’s: reduce, reuse and recycle
People are also staring to compost on a larger scale
