East Boston: Site & Environmental Systems Practicum

East Boston
The students in the 2021 Site and Environmental Systems practicum (11.304j) created four interactive pamphlets to further equip East Boston community members with tools to support their participation in planning processes.

Through the lenses of environmental justice and climate resiliency, the class studied sites throughout East Boston, grappling with the high volume of changes and complex regulatory landscape surrounding East Boston’s extensive waterfront.

The set of four pamphlets the class produced may be read together or separately, and they discuss East Boston’s power and decision-making processes, offer storytelling as a way to understand East Boston’s past and future, and propose new visions for Condor Street in Eagle Hill and Harbor View in the Belle Isle Marsh.
