Walkshops Focused on the Charles River
On Wednesday, October 12th, the Emerald Network team led a Women in Design (WiD) walkshop through the Boston Society for Architecture. The event was a kick off to WiD’s 2022 symposium Intersections: Mobility, Equity, and the Built Environment, which will be hosted on October 28th-29th. The walkshop outlined LivableStreets’ work of bringing together project managers, advocates, designers, government representatives, and institutions to plan for a regionally interconnected, and sustainable future for the river. It also provided updates on projects touching the river and facilitated a discussion about the role of design professionals in coalition building. Thank you to Fennick McCredie Architecture and Studio Luz Architects for sponsoring the event. Partners Doing Amazing Work
