Downtown | Lowell, MA - 2020




Lowell is a city of neighborhoods, but very little neighborhood-scale planning has been done in Lowell. 2020 marked year one of “The Lowell Neighborhoods Initiative,” a three-year initiative to draft a neighborhood plan for all nine neighborhoods in Lowell. Our goal is to explore existing neighborhood conditions and propose changes that might better serve them. In Spring, 2020, we completed a neighborhood plan for Downtown, which has many mills and canals built before Lowell was officially chartered in 1826 that still dominate its landscape today .
