Join the North Suburban Planning Council on Thursday, May 16th to talk about planning for healthy aging in our communities.
After regular community updates the group will hear from James Fuccione of the Massachusetts Healthy Aging Collaborative and have a discussion about age friendly planning in the North Suburban subregion.
After regular community updates, the group will be joined by Chris Kuschel, Senior Regional Planner, about work done with Woburn over the past few years, particularly on the city’s 40R guidelines.
Due to the COVID-19 situation, in accordance with Governor Baker’s guidance, MAPC has asked all staff to postpone or host meetings online. So, out of an abundance of caution, we’ll be holding our NSPC meeting tomorrow via WebEx. You can join by video or phone using the information below:

How do monuments and memorials shape our understanding of place—and what we choose to forget? And how might we reframe public memory to address the harmful legacy of colonialism in our region? This artist panel will consider how remembering and forgetting of Indigenous peoples and colonial history shaped the landscape and collective consciousness of Greater Boston—and the necessary role of Indigenous artists in shaping more just public spaces.
Reclaim? Recontextualize? Relocate? Remove? What should we do with monuments that no longer reflect our shared history and collective values (or never did to begin with)? This conversation among artists, designers, and educators will explore how creative commemoration can help us see the past and present in a new light—and chart a path toward more just futures.
