Boston is experiencing unprecedented levels of development and growth, and our neighborhoods are changing rapidly as a result. In addition to substantial changes to the streetscape, communities throughout the city are experiencing population growth and shifting demographics. In this session, a panel of experts discuss what these changes mean for Boston’s neighborhoods, and how residents can preserve a community’s character while embracing the future. Keynote speaker Lance Freeman addresses factors that contribute to neighborhood change, including displacement, revitalization and the central role of preservation in maintaining vibrant neighborhoods.
