Cité des Iles was a study proposed to the City of Montreal by Moshe Safdie following the close of Expo '67. The overall idea behind the study was to transform the temporary Expo exhibition site including structures, parks, and transit lines into permanent amenities for the city. The study was well received by many city officials, but did not proceed because of anticipated review complications between the various levels of provincial, federal, and municipal agencies.

The city of Giza was a theoretical study for a high-density city, amidst the existing ancient pyramids, which could accommodate the resettlement of 250,000 Palestinian refugees. Giza illustrated a number of concepts which Moshe Safdie had been exploring prior to Habitat '67 such as workable high-density environments, three-dimensional reorganization of urban land uses, the organization of individual dwellings as spatial groupings, the hierarchical organization of transportation networks, and the utilization of mass-production construction techniques.

Moshe Safdie developed a three-dimensional master plan for the newly proposed residential community of Coldspring. The master plan included a town center with retail and office space, two neighbourhood centers, three schools, over 3,000 dwelling units, three lakes, and an ecology center. Due to the topography of the site, three types of housing were designed: high rises, hillside clusters, and deck houses. The underlying concept of the deck house was to stack the community and residential spaces above the parking, enabling a higher building density to be achieved and therefore devoting more land to private or communal outdoor uses.
