Samir Admo is an urban planner and lecturer at the Department of Urban and Tourism Studies at the École des sciences de la gestion (ESG), Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). He is also an associate researcher at the Canada Research Chair in Urban Heritage. He has been teaching terminal urban projects and urban dossier development since 2009.
His educational background includes a Master's in Urban Studies from UQAM, where he researched the community-oriented redevelopment of religious heritage under the supervision of Luc Noppen and Lucie K. Morisset.
Samir Admo's research focuses on heritage communities, particularly as defined by the FARO Framework Convention, emphasizing citizen-led stewardship of cultural heritage. He investigates the local implementation of this principle in Quebec, especially in the requalification of religious sites through community, municipal, and non-profit engagement. His work bridges urban planning and cultural heritage management, with a strong emphasis on participatory processes such as citizen charrettes.
He has extensive professional experience in pre-development project management and heritage consulting, notably on the Sainte-Brigide-de-Kildare Church project in Montreal, a research-action initiative led by Luc Noppen. His practical work supports community-based approaches to urban transformation and heritage conservation.
Samir Admo participated in the ACHS 2016 conference, presenting on citizen participation in Montreal’s heritage debates, highlighting the evolution from top-down urban interventions to inclusive democratic processes. He is affiliated with research networks such as the Sainte-Brigide Community Center and the Laboratory for Spatial Analysis and Mediation of Urban Heritage.
