Walkshop: New Neighborhoods: Somerville’s Assembly Square

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.
