Fall 2007
M.I.T. graduate students worked with the City of Lowell to create a vision and plan for the Upper Merrimack neighborhood. This plan assesses the existing conditions, creates a vision for improvement, and presents both short- and long-term implementation strategies. The fundamental goal for our team was to create a more livable, vibrant, urban neighborhood for the existing community through five areas of focus: open space, streetscape, transportation, housing & community development, and catalyst properties.
