In the 2016 publication, State of the Built Environment: Greater Boston’s Infrastructure, A Better City in Partnership with the Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy teamed up to lay out the needs of the region’s transportation, energy, water, sewer and waste management systems. In the report, the state of infrastructure in nearly 150 communities surrounding Boston were measured. Join us for this year’s Joseph C. Lawler Lecture to hear what the team determined were the major infrastructure needs of greater Boston and to understand how regional leaders and stakeholders can use this information as they plan for projected population and economic growth leading up to 2030. The executive summary of the report can be found here: bit.ly/ABetterCity
