Cambridge MA. | Porter Square Intervention

This Cambridge master plan envisions a resilient, community-driven urban future through sustainable housing, transit-oriented development, and ecological revitalization.

The proposal introduces 14,272 new housing units ranging from co-housing to high-rises, prioritizing affordability, shared spaces, and multi-generational living. Key interventions at Porter Square, Fresh Pond Mall, and Lechmere integrate mixed-use programs with community services. A reimagined Charles River Greenway, created by submerging Memorial Drive and raising land elevation, enhances flood resilience and expands public green space.

Rooted in global precedents, the plan promotes walkability, social equity, and environmental stewardship while densifying and reconnecting Cambridge’s urban fabric
