Allston-Brighton Community Plan (2024)

The Allston-Brighton Community Plan, led by the City of Boston Planning Department (formerly the BPDA) and supported by Agency Landscape + Planning and Grayscale Collaborative, studied methods of increasing housing affordability, supporting arts and culture, enhancing open space access and resilience, and improving multi-model transportation. The Community Plan resulted in zoning recommendations to the city as part of efforts to increase density around public transit and support neighborhood centers.

As a consultant on the planning effort from the team’s formation, I held many roles, including interviewing and selecting neighborhood residents of all ages to form the Planning Collaborative (a group of resident-planners and advocates from all backgrounds who advised on the process, plan recommendations, and engagement methods), developing physical engagement methods (including a data-rich exhibition that I built in Allston-Brighton libraries to gather neighborhood feedback), and leading a technical analysis of neighborhood attributes ahead of developing zoning amendments.
