Lowell Neighborhood Initiative | Lowell, MA - 2020-2022

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 neighborhood plans for Back Central, Downtown, Lower Highlands, and Pawtucketville. In Spring 2021, we completed neighborhood plans for Upper Highlands, Belvidere, and South Lowell. And in Spring 2022, we completed neighborhood plans for The Acre and Centralville.
