Engage Communities
Implement New Solutions
Partner For Greater Impact
Track Progress
We will develop new ways to encourage a
broader, more representative community to
participate in what we do in new ways that are natural and convenient
for them.
We will tap into Boston’s innovative spirit and look for ‘arc of the
frontier’ ideas, locally and globally, that are
successfully addressing inclusivity. We will pilot
them in neighborhoods.
We will seek, identify, and execute efforts that can be amplified through
partnership, and work with our partners to make the greatest
impact on inclusivity.
We will track progress, results, and impact
toward inclusivity to build credibility and
confidence. We will use rigorous measures, modern tools, and effective, engaging
communication.

Engage Communities One of the four areas of focus with the BPDA’s new mission and vision
To shape an inclusive Boston, we will engage a broader and more representative community–the people, businesses and communities of Boston as well as its own employees
We will create a redesigned community meeting format to provide more context and more clarity, and an online platform for neighborhood-specific updates and feedback
This will ensure that conversations are open, ongoing, and available to all
