There's a cool idea happening in Montreal.
'In Japanese, shukō, is an idea, a project, a plan. I'm throwing out a challenge to our creative community with these five shukō. Designers, visionaries, rational thinkers, old hands and newcomers. Five inspirational shukō, five opportunities to express Montréal's unique personality and join forces to bring Montréal, City of Design, to a new level. Our metropolis is bursting with ideas, overflowing with talent. As mayor, I'm committed to doing what it takes to turn these five shukō into accomplishments that all Montréalers can look upon with pride.'

The Five things they are looking at are:
1. CHAMP-DE-MARS METRO STATION Public Space
2. EASTERN WALL OF THE PALAIS DE JUSTICE
3. BUS SHELTERS
4. SIGNATURE TAXIS
5. TEMPORARY FESTIVAL FURNITURE
The premise is, the little things make a city great. I wonder, what would be the 5 things we would do in Toronto.
p.s. They also mention Montreal is a UNESCO design capital. I didn't know it was a design capital...
