Article 80

Representatives of neighborhood groups from across the city are voicing dissatisfaction over the composition of a steering group appointed by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu to overhaul the city’s planning and redevelopment process known as Article 80, which governs how public and neighborhood input are incorporated into major development projects.

As Mayor Michelle Wu pushes forward with an ambitious overhaul of the city’s planning and development processes, neighborhood leaders and civic advocates are cautioning that any streamlining of development should not come at the cost of community input.
