Assignment 5 (Due Oct. 12)

Next week, we will be discussing class projects for the first part of class, and then exploring various issues related to cultural interventions and community transformation in Boston with Stephen Walter from the Boston Mayor’s Office of Urban Mechanics, along with several of his colleagues from City Hall.

In preparation for the Boston discussion, please consult these three Boston City Plans that have been drafted and circulated recently:

The Arts and Culture Plan: http://plan.bostoncreates.org/

The Transportation Plan: http://goboston2030.org/en/

The Master Plan: http://imagine.boston.gov/

Come to class prepared to ask questions to these representatives from the Mayor’s office, and also come with an individual or group project idea that you would like to pursue for the rest of the semester!
