MBTA Communities Act: Engaging the AEC Community in Housing Advocacy

Join the BSA and Citizens' Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA) as we assemble local leaders from across the region for an evening workshop focused on educating BSA members and the general public about this zoning change and about how to get involved in shaping its local impacts. The workshop will include:

• A brief presentation from policy advocates with Q&A
• An in-person roundtable discussion and workshop with architects, advocates, residents;
• discussion and debate of the architectural, economic, and social value of the MBTA Communities Act
• In-person development and refinement of testimonials for upcoming town meetings

Equitable and sustainable design strategies are essential to the development of feasible and long-term housing solutions for Massachusetts. We invite you to join us in learning more and discovering ways to get involved.

Food and refreshments will be provided. The presentation portion will be live-streamed and recorded.
