An Act to improve and modernize planning and community development in the city of Boston

This bill aims to help the city of Boston guide public and private investments to create a more resilient, affordable, and equitable community. It strengthens the powers of the Boston Planning Board and the Boston Redevelopment Authority to address issues like housing shortages, economic disparities, and climate threats. The legislation allows these agencies to use tools such as eminent domain and public funding for projects that improve housing, infrastructure, and energy efficiency. By promoting cooperation between city agencies and ensuring fair treatment for all residents and businesses, the act seeks to better manage land use and development across the city.
