MIT’s longtime Director of Planning Bob Simha will lead Cambridgeport residents in three workshops focusing on our past, present and future, inspired by Envision Cambridge's zoning proposals.
​
Our goal will be to develop a position or plan regarding neighborhood development so that we will be able to have an informed conversation at our March 14 meeting. As Simha says, “It is hard to plan for the future unless you understand where the neighborhood has been and and how it got to the present.” ​

Discussion will focus on both physical and organizational aspects of Cambridgeport. We’ll be looking at who lives here, what kind of housing we should encourage, how we can resolve existing and impending traffic problems, examine our future transportation opportunities, renewal of our existing and needs for future infrastructure, community amenities, and services that can make Cambridgeport the kind of neighborhood we want to live in.

We believe by better understanding what internal and external forces are at work that effect our neighborhood we will be better prepared to help determine the future of the neighborhood, its character, its needs and the policies that will be required to fulfill our aspirations for Cambridgeport.
