As the City of Boston’s first citywide planning effort in nearly 50 years, Imagine Boston 2030 charts a course to guide growth, address persistent inequalities, and face climate change. HR&A Advisors and Utile served as lead consultants to develop a cohesive vision that stitches together past and ongoing planning efforts, and links a long-term strategy with the physical city.
The planning process began with a deep understanding of demographic and economic changes, and leverages the city’s public and private physical assets, human and social capital, and regulatory and financial tools to achieve the city’s goals.
The final Imagine Boston 2030 plan, released in July 2017, guides new housing and investment to areas that can support growth, while also ensuring that the benefits of that growth become accessible to more Bostonians.
