A new report, compiled by the city of Boston’s Planning Department in partnership with local residents, reveals a design vision for the city.

Released last week, Boston’s Design Vision draft report outlines key design elements and principles to foster a vibrant, green and inclusive city. 

For more than a year, the Planning Department has been working with hundreds of community members to get their input on what types of design make their communities feel like home. 

“We’re working alongside residents to make Boston the best home for everyone, and I’m grateful and excited to have opportunities like the Design Vision where residents can have a direct hand in creating Boston’s future,” said Mayor Michelle Wu. “These projects ensure that we can deliver on our promise of creating a city that serves the needs of every community and designing spaces that foster growth and bring people together.”

The design principles outlined in the report focus on understanding the context of each space, future planning, ensuring future projects align with and support the greater context they belong to and focusing on celebrating the culture and architecture of individual neighborhoods, according to the Planning Department.

Kairos Shen, Boston’s chief of planning, said as they envision what the city will look and feel like decades from now, it’s imperative we have a road map to get us there. 

“The Design Vision offers an imaginative concept of what Boston could be in the years to come, and I want to thank our staff who have worked on this for many months to ensure it reflects Bostonians’ perspectives on the neighborhoods they call home,” Shen said. 

A comment period on the draft is now open. A public meeting will be held Nov. 13, and office hours are scheduled for Nov. 18 to discuss the design vision with community members. The comment period runs through Nov. 29.
