Model – FutureBOSTON
Posted in Events, Models, Movements, Research, Visions by fedwards on October 15th, 2007
“FutureBOSTON” is a project of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in association with State Street Corporation, Distrigas/Suez, Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Boston Foundation which offers participants the chance to propose solutions to issues to help design Boston’s future. A multi-layered project, it launched recently with WCVB-TV5′s “Chronicle” television series which features city case studies of Dublin, Vancouver, Portland, and Seoul to show how they each dealt with their own urban challenges.
This television series will be followed by three online competitions or “Interactive Symposia” designed to harvest solutions to the critical challenges facing Future Boston in the areas of health, design and environmental sustainability.
