Welcome to the spring 2016 Myra Kraft Open Classroom, which will focus on “Shaping Boston’s Future: Aspirations, Opportunities, and Challenges.” The impetus for this series is the Walsh Administration’s Imagine Boston 2030 initiative, which seeks to create Boston’s first citywide plan in 50 years. We will spend the semester exploring various aspects of these efforts. To do so, each Open Classroom will feature remarks by a mix of public officials, civic leaders, and local scholars, conversation among the speakers, and questions and conversation with the people who attend the sessions. As always, all the sessions are free and open to the public.

"Meeting the Mobility Challenge" will focus on key transportation issues in Boston, and reflect the fact that the city and the state share responsibility for addressing many of those pressing issues.
