Boston is planning to remake itself, one neighborhood at a time
The Walsh administration later this year will begin work on a series of neighborhood plans aimed at guiding city development from Mattapan to East Boston.
The Walsh administration later this year will begin work on a series of neighborhood plans aimed at guiding city development from Mattapan to East Boston, the Globe’s Tim Logan reports.
The Boston Planning & Development Agency said Wednesday that it will embark on planning to improve transportation in Allston-Brighton, to boost job growth and access in Newmarket, and to foster sustainable growth and reduce displacement in East Boston and Mattapan.
That’s on top of a recently announced master plan for downtown, which officials say will help to better integrate the growing number of residents in the city’s commercial core.
The planning blitz follows Imagine Boston 2030, the city’s new master plan, which calls for large-scale development in “emerging neighborhoods” such as Newmarket and Suffolk Downs in East Boston. It also comes after a series of neighborhood rezoning plans for old industrial sections of South Boston, Jamaica Plain, and Roxbury that are intended to create denser hubs of transit-oriented housing and office space.
