Alexandre Guertin

Montreal

Following his landscape architecture studies in Montreal, Alexandre had the opportunity to travel and practice landscape architecture in Asia. With this experience came the need to concretely take action at the local level in the design of a greener city, which naturally led him to the Montreal Urban Ecology Center (MUEC). His horticultural knowledge and on the ground experience are now put to use as a landscape architecture consultant specializing in greening and urban agriculture. As such, he supports participatory projects from conception to completion. Alexandre’s passion on plants and the benefits of their broader usage in cities also made him a permaculture enthusiast with a focus on edible landscape design in the urban environment.

The MUEC is a local non-profit whose mission is to build and share expertise concerning the most viable and democratic approaches to sustainable urban development.
