Can infrastructure not only protect against stormwater flooding but educate and create community?

The need to protect infrastructure and vulnerable populations is dire. How can we do this while also preserving valuable public and urban space?

With unprecedented weather events occurring more frequently, the public spaces that the people of Boston have fought for are at risk of going underwater.

This puts the Southwest Corridor, a critical transportation line, at risk for severing a reliable connection to the economic center of Downtown Boston.

These neighborhoods are the homes of many socio-economically disadvantaged individuals as well as many people of color.

The need to protect the Southwest Corridor and ensure it remains operational to ensure mobility and equity is greatly needed.
