Description:

Each of Boston's urban renewal areas have unique planning and redevelopment goals associated with them. This interactive workshop will provide an opportunity for community members to weigh in on updating the goals of the various plans. BRA staff will begin the sessions by educating participants on the basics of urban renewal, its history, and how the tools can be used to create vibrant neighborhoods. Attendees will then be asked to break into smaller groups to discuss new or updated goals for the urban renewal plans, many of which date back several decades.

At this time, the Planning Department is continuing to host public meetings in a virtual setting for the health, safety, and accessibility of Boston residents. For more information and updates, visit bostonplans.org.
