The second BSA Urban Design Workshop examined Mayor Martin Walsh's housing initiative with the overall goal to promote more expansive and innovative thinking about urban housing. Focusing on Dorchester Avenue, four interdisciplinary design teams created site proposals, now online for you to view. The Urban Design Workshops are supported by the BSA Foundation.

Policy Background
Workforce Housing Urban Design Workshop
Mayor’s Housing Goal: 53,000 new units by 2030
Development priority zones: the Dorchester Avenue
corridor in South Boston and the Washington Street
corridor in Jamaica Plain are two of more that are
going to be announced in the coming months.
The Mayor’s Office and the Department of
Neighborhood Development are focused on market-
rate “workforce” housing that is affordable for
households that make between $50-120K annually
(the “Middle Class”).
This initiative is meant to complement the current
housing supply pipeline of “luxury” residential
development and subsidized affordable housing.
