Connecting new development districts to the existing urban and social fabric can be challenging. On this tour, we’ll wander the streets and public spaces of Somerville’s Assembly Square neighborhood, a 100-acre planned development district on the banks of the Mystic River. Learn how physical street design, land use planning and transportation-demand management are being used to foster local pride and advocacy in a neighborhood walled off by elevated freeways and railroad infrastructure.
