A Citizen’s Vision for Allston Landing: Looking at the Allston/I-90 opportunity from the River and the Community’s Point of View
The Allston Landing Design Team (ALDT) is the collaborative efforts of John Shields, Skip Burck and Paul Lukez.
The Vision
Allston Landing is about people. It first focuses on those living in Allston and those who use the Charles River and its bordering parklands. But the resulting vision is much more inclusive than that. It provides benefits to a host of key stakeholders: Cambridgeport, abutting universities (Harvard, Boston University and MIT), Houghton Chemical Company, and the traveling public.
This plan divides Allston Landing into four sub-areas, plus the required rail and turnpike areas below the proposed air-rights development. Each has its own typology, use mix, themes and character. The open space opportunity in each is the focus of this vision.
