Implementing Goals As Framework

The proposed framework engages the network of greenways that connect the city’s waterfront and open spaces not only to internal neighborhoods, but into adjacent social infrastructures within the region. Greenway networks currently under development include the East Boston Loop, which can be connected by using Bennington Street as a conduit with the new Suffolk Downs development, the Chelsea Creek Waterfront, East Boston Harborwalk, and the Chelsea Greenway.

Vision Statement

Constraints Aligning with Goals

Our student team analyzed Chelsea’s challenges that are concentric to our three goals, and created a network between goals, constraints, solutions, tools, and methodologies. This process overviews how the following methodology, Goals to Constraints, is sequential within this base flow network.

Regenerate The Land

MISSION. To promote Chelsea as Metropolitan Boston’s Regeneration capital by prioritizing land that has historically been for Industrial in its zoning classification for both climate resilience and community use.

A Complete Chelsea

MISSION. To engage Chelsea and Metropolitan Boston’s stakeholders for the integration of an urban overlay, producing a Walkable and MultiModal Chelsea.

The Street As A Place

MISSION. To spur Smart Growth Districts to Stimulate Chelsea’s Economy.
