Inner Core Committee (ICC)
The Inner Core Committee (ICC) is a Greater Boston subregion of twenty-one (21) communities: Arlington, Belmont, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Lynn, Malden, Medford, Melrose, Milton, Needham, Newton, Quincy, Revere, Saugus, Somerville, Waltham, Watertown, and Winthrop, working collaboratively on regional issues.
The ICC is MAPC's largest subregion, representing the largest number of municipalities of any subregion: about 51 percent of the MAPC region’s population - over 1.6 million residents.
As some of the most urban and populous communities within the MAPC planning area, ICC cities and towns deal with a host of unique challenges, such as finite developable land, issues of neighborhood change and gentrification, limited affordability, congestion, and public transit capacity limitations, to name a few.
The ICC meets regularly to discuss these and other topics, share best planning practices, and explore opportunities for regional collaboration.

ICC | About
Our Purpose
The Committee was formed to foster joint and cooperative action within the Inner Core subregion of the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) and to provide a forum to explore issues which are a concern of the subregion but not necessarily of the same concern to the MAPC region as a whole.
