At a time when the principles of sustainable planning are widely applied in Canada and the United States, suburban shopping centres are increasingly viewed by public authorities as underutilized urban spaces due for redevelopment. On the side of developers and retailers, the concept of the mall has been losing its attractiveness for the past twenty years, in favor of e commerce. In this article, we would like to discuss this new trend of redeveloping shopping malls into densified neighborhoods that include residential, commercial, and office spaces. More specifically, we will study the case of the “Place Fleur de Lys” real estate project in Quebec City, where there are many suburban shopping malls, despite its reputation as being a heritage city, which offer several opportunities in terms of densification.

AbstractAnalysis of the various programmes offered by the Canada Council for the Arts reveals that government financial aid is not sufficient to allow for the consistent creation of operatic works. This is further borne out by studies of the operations of various professional organisations that benefit from these programmes (including professional and university workshops), as well as all the mechanisms that surround the premiere of a new opera (from its commissioning to its first staging). In sum, most of the funds are used to meet operating costs of the country's various operatic organisations. In order for Canadian opera to thrive, composers must turn to lyrical companies and not opera houses.

Eachyear, since the seventies, we could count around half-dozen of such oil spills disasters.Annex A provides a table listing all oil spill accidents from tankers since1975 involving more than 20 000 tonnes of oil.
