How does a city advance climate resilience? How IS resilience moving ahead along Boston's southern shoreline?
Along the southern half of Boston harbor, an abundance of projects are in a variety of stages of planning, design, construction, or completion: from the L Street bathhouse and Moakley Park to the Bayside Expo property (Dorchester Bay City) around to Tenean Beach and the mouth of the Neponset River. Each of these sites offer substantial climate resilience needs and opportunities, as well as issues of access and equity. These projects include a mix of private and public owners, both city and state. Despite being divided by property lines, the landscape has an enormous role to play.
Join us for a conversation with thought leaders and with all of you, to celebrate the constellation of work underway and to discuss next steps in advancing resilience along our urban shoreline.

IN ADDITION | SAVE THE DATE:
This discussion will be followed by a series of outdoor, free, on-site walking tours of these sites, happening Saturday, September 30, concurrent with a wicked high tide. Please save the date!
The big vision depends on the implementation of many different and separate public and private sector development projects. To be discussed in this forum.
