Towards a Vision of a Vibrant Urban Campus Integrated with the Surrounding Neighborhood

Urban Campus and Local Neighborhoods

Harvard just announced plans of new construction over the next 30 years that will be nearly 10 million square feet. Harvard had purchased numerous buildings which sat vacant for years. Finally the plan for the new urban campus is beginning and the expansion of the town is in fact accepted by the townspeople. The town and the school are working together to develop  "a vibrant urban campus that integrates with the surrounding neighborhood and the creation of new housing, new jobs, and a variety of new attractions (stores, museums, parks, etc.) that will make the campus and community more liveable and interesting."
