Abstract
Abstract This article examines the development of a design policy in Montreal. It is based on a series of policy documents issued by the municipal administration between 2005 and 2018. The policy was developed in a context in which Montreal is attempting to rebrand itself as a “cultural metropolis.” Therefore, this policy is analyzed in relation to the creative city model. Three aspects of the policy are explored in detail: the vision of design; the support provided to its production, and its reception. The study concludes with a discussion of the increasing commercialization of the urban space and its relation to this policy.

How will technology change the arts world? Who owns what in the information age? How will museums survive in the future? The Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society has supplied answers to these kinds of questions for more than twenty-five years, becoming the authoritative resource for arts policymakers and analysts, sociologists, arts and cultural administrators, educators, trustees, artists, lawyers, and citizens concerned with the performing, visual, and media arts, as well as cultural affairs. Articles, commentaries, and reviews of publications address marketing, intellectual property, arts policy, arts law, governance, and cultural production and dissemination, always from a variety of philosophical, disciplinary, and national and international perspectives.
