I’ve long considered Montreal & Vancouver to be “mirror image” top design cities, as they are good at different things (& thus could REALLY learn from each other)! For example, Vancouver could learn A LOT from Montreal about public realm design/investment & street transformation. 
How are Vancouver & Montreal good at different city-building things? I think with urban design, Vancouver has been better at negotiating good design from developers (a city BY design), & Montreal is better at public sector design (a city OF design).

Just stop & think about this — what if YOUR city transformed a key main street (like Montreal has with #MontRoyal, actually one of TEN such street transformations this summer) into a 2.5km long pedestrian promenade & living room with 2700 seats? Thanks for the tip @JeanBeaudoin_!
