Kandy, along with friend Stephanie Troeth, will present an alternative, New Urbanist vision of Griffintown&#8217;s redevelopment tonight at the SAT.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A suburban mall at the foot of one of Montreal\u2019s central boulevards, in the middle of Griffintown and adjacent to Old Montreal, ignores both the &#8216;retail DNA&#8217; of Montreal and the history of a proud neighborhood,&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanphoto.net\/blog\/2007\/09\/12\/griffintown-dix30-presentation-at-pecha-kucha-night-sept-18th\/\">writes Kandy on Urbanphoto<\/a>. &#8220;Even if there is a residential tower attached, as the current proposal includes, it\u2019s still likely going to be a lot of cheap sheds separated by acres of parking. It\u2019s an odd decision in a neighborhood that is moving towards drastically increased residential density and good urban design.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kandy and Troeth&#8217;s presentation will take place tonight, at 8pm, as part of Montreal&#8217;s second <a href=\"http:\/\/montreal.pecha-kucha.ca\/\">Pecha Kucha night<\/a>. It&#8217;s a sort of show-and-tell session, comprised of 20 slides lasting for 20 seconds each, for a total presentation time of no more than 6 minutes and 40 seconds. <\/p>\n<p>Along with Griffintown, tonight&#8217;s event will address a number of other topics that might be of interest to Spacing Montreal readers. Gonzague Verdenal will share &#8220;everyday scenes&#8221; of bus routes in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. Carole L\u00e9vesque will talk about &#8220;clotheslines to hang our habits&#8221; on Mount Royal Avenue.
