Setting a Regional Agenda: The MetroFuture Experience

February 22, 2010

Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Lecture

Date:  Monday, February 22, 2010
Time:  12:00pm
Location:  Lincoln House (113 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA 02138)

The Metropolitan Area Planning Council, responsible under state law for developing a comprehensive regional plan for the Greater Boston region, sought the involvement of some 5,000 individuals and organizations to craft MetroFuture, a plan adopted in December 2008, after five years in the making. The plan has a focus on growth where people already live, work, and play, linked by an efficient transportation system and surrounded by a protected set of natural resources and amenities. Marc Draisen, executive director of MAPC, will reflect on the initiative’s success, challenges, and lessons learned, as MetroFuture is now poised to go from plan to implementation and action.
