Description
100 Resilient Cities helps cities around the globe become more resilient to social, economic, and physical challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century. Join Mayor Martin Walsh and representatives from 8 cities for a conversation addressing deep-rooted issues of racial disparity and inequity, as well as how to develop and share municipal solutions to promote equity, inclusivity, and social cohesion.
A
A
Everyone
lunch
is
good,
all
right,
I'm
feeling
good
okay
great,
so
this
is
always
interesting.
I,
don't
know,
I
tend
to
do
it
a
little
differently
every
time.
But
let
me
start
by
saying
this:
suddenly,
the
CEO,
the
city
of
Boston,
mayor
Walsh
early
on
decided
that
he
would
tackle
something
that
a
lot
of
people
have
not
tackled
before
he
felt
as
he
was
campaigning
and
talking
to
different
people
that
they
should
race
in
equity
and
diversity.
A
Inclusion
and
looking
at
the
city
from
the
lens
of
how
the
city
could
best
represent
the
people
that
we
serve
was
at
the
forefront
of
his
agenda
and
so
this
office.
Then
we
are
now
a
part
of
and
powerless
number
was
created
to
help
advance
that
work
and
to
advance
the
agenda.
I
am
very,
very
humbled
and
kind
of
blows
me
away,
sometimes
that
he
would
pick
me
and
the
team
member
what's
actually
advanced
this
working
so
I'm
grateful
to
him
for
choosing
this
team
to
welcome
such
a
sensitive
topic.
A
And
it's
just
a
it's
just
been
a
wonderful
journey,
so
in
term
2
we're
excited
and
that
he
has
decided
to
continue
to
move
the
needle
that
he
is
decided
to
keep
the
ball
moving
on
race
matters
in
a
clean
and
that
he
has
been
bold
enough
and
courageous
enough
to
say
that
when
I
don't
know
something.
That's
why
we
build
a
network
and
that's
why
we
have
a
team
of
people
that
we
can
lean
on
to
move
this
go
forward.
And
so
apparently
he
is
in
the
room,
hello,
sir.
B
We
had
mothers
from
Chicago
mothers
from
New,
York,
Columbus,
a
bunch
of
other
cities,
and
it's
a
powerful
conversation
to
have
back
then
to
talk
about
the
violence,
that's
happening
in
urban
America
really,
and
we
we
got
into
a
conversation
about
gun,
reform
and
gun
legislation,
and
we
talked
about
all
that
and
we
didn't
go,
take
the
next
step
down.
But
when
you
think
about
the
conversation
that
we
had
in
the
conversation
you're
having
today,
it's
that
much
deeper
conversation.
We
need
to
continue
to
have
in
America,
and
in
talking
about
you
know.
B
Why
did
we
get
to
a
situation
where
a
young
person
felt
the
need
to
pull
a
gun
out
and
shoot
another
young
person
and
there's
a
lot
of
breakdowns
in
the
system?
When
we
think
about
that?
And
that's
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
here
in
Boston
and
and
some
of
you
are
doing
around
the
country.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
I
want
to
thank
the
team
from
Boston
here.
That's
here,
I'm
not
going
to
name
you
all.
B
You
probably
mentioned
a
couple
of
times
already,
but
a
lot
of
the
folks
in
this
room
are
doing
incredible
work
in
in
in
in
a
lot
of
different
spaces
in
our
city
and
I.
Want
to
thank
you
for
that.
I
want
to
thank
I
want
to
thank
100
100
resilient
cities.
I
know
we
talked
about
the
history
of
our
application.
B
Was
that
given
to
so
I'm
so
Joycelyn
again,
my
chief
of
policy
here
she
achieved
quality
I
should
say
from
the
city
came
into
me
in
2014
and
said
I'm
I'm
thinking
of
we're,
gonna
put
an
application
in
for
the
Rockefeller
and
resilient
cities,
and
it's
okay
great
and
she
said
I'm
gonna.
Do
it?
Did
you
mind
if
I
do
something
outside
the
box?
My
dog
oh
go
for
it
come
back
and,
and
she
did
she
went
way
outside
the
box,
and
you
know
in
the
past.
B
B
I
was
a
brand-new
were
mayor
at
the
time
we
had
been
confronted
with
conversations
and
questions
during
the
campaign
from
there
that,
quite
honestly,
when
I
was
first
asked
about
it,
I
didn't
handle
the
question
right
because
of
it's
a
very
difficult
conversation
to
have
when
your
candidate
running
for
mayor
of
Boston.
Well,
you
can't
date
any
frame
van
supposed
in
2014
fast
forward,
2018,
it's
a
different
conversation
today.
It's
a
very
different
conversation
today
in
America
I
think,
but
we
put
the
application
together
and
we
put
it
in
that
application.
B
The
challenges
of
Boston's
face
during
the
busing
crisis
in
Boston
and
the
busing
era
in
Boston,
and
going
back
to
different
instances
of
racism
happening
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
and
we
made
it
to
the
next
round
and
then
our
application
got
accepted
and
then
we're
looking
at.
How
do
we
now
take
the
conversation?
Have
a
dialogue
on
race
in
the
city
of
Boston?
How
do
we
use
Rockefeller
in
under
Brazilian
cities
and
I
want
to
thank
all
the
folks
from
Rockefeller
here?
I
see
all
this
here.
Thank
you.
B
B
The
work
that's
happening
can
be
groundbreaking
if
it's
done
correctly,
I'm
not
saying
it's
groundbreaking,
because
it's
not
groundbreaking
the
groundbreaking
comes
well.
If
we
are
successful
in
having
these
dialogues
in
these
conversations,
then
we
can
say
it
was
groundbreaking.
Work
and
I
think
that
that
something
is
really
important.
The
concept
of
resilience
is
a
powerful
one.
B
It
resonates
with
every
aspect
of
city
life
and
planning
in
our
city
and
what
we
do
in
our
city
every
day
and
our
decision
to
focus
on
racial
equity
work
was
important
to
our
city.
To
move
on
and
to
move
forward.
Don't
move
on
move
forward,
it's
something!
That's
important.
I
grew
up
in
in
Boston
in
Dorchester
during
I
guess
the
bus
thing
busted
when
busing
came
in
I
was
in
grammar
school
and
I
used
to
walk.
B
I
went
to
my
mother
and
father
from
Ireland
they're
immigrants
and
when
they
came
here,
they
sent
me
to
a
parochial
school
Catholic
school
I
used
to
walk
by
the
way
me
rustle
every
day
in
the
early
70s
and
the
kids
would
come
up
in
the
school
buses,
but
they
were.
They
were
led
by
motorcycle
police
officers
when
there
was
one
a
second
police
officer
behind
him
and
there's
ones
on
each
side,
and
they
were
little
moving.
B
Kids
in
and
out
of
schools
and
I
thought
that
that
was
a
little
a
little
hard
when
you
think
about
I'm,
walking
down
the
st.
margaret's
down
the
street
and
we're
walking
down
a
school,
and
these
kids
are
being
escorted
by
the
police,
not
understanding
at
that
time.
Really
what
was
going
on
so
7
years
old,
oh
6
and
7
years
old,
and
he
is
also
I-
wasn't
really
sure
what
was
happening
going
on
since
that
time.
B
Boston
has
has
made
some
progress
and
we've
worked
in
that
progress
with
other
elected
officials
in
talking
about
addressing
the
disparities
and
addressing
racism
and
addressing
the
past
that
would
have
experienced
here
in
the
city
of
Boston.
But
the
disparities
remain
deep
and
there's
a
real
the
distrust
that
we
have
is
real
and
in
a
lot
of
the
areas
of
our
society.
B
You
have
to
do
because
I
don't
think
if
you
get
somebody
up
here,
making
conversation
and
trying
to
make
up
answers
like
I
did
when
I
was
a
candidate,
it's
not
the
way
to
go
and
I
did
that
as
a
candidate
trying
to
see
what
I
could
do
a
city
can
thrive
if
we're
disconnected
from
each
other
and
that's
something
that
is
also
important.
As
far
as
the
work
that
we
do
moving
forward.
Racial
disparities
are
our
deepest
form
of
disconnection
that
we
have
country
and
we
realize
in
Boston
I
realize
in
Boston.
B
We
can't
solve
the
problems
of
the
United
States
of
America
in
here.
What
we
can
do
is
work
on
the
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
here
in
Boston
and
hopefully
that
other
cities
will
see
what
we're
doing
and
mistakes
we
might
make.
They
won't
have
to
make
those
mistakes
and
things
that
are
successful
in
our
city.
They
can
say:
okay.
This
is
something
that
we
can
do
and
use
in
our
cities
as
success.
B
We're
grateful
for
on
resilient
cities,
who
understood
and
embrace
this
work
when
we
put
in
our
proposal
this
partnership
to
partnership
is
how
but
surely
make
equity
equity
was
a
part
of
the
focus,
but
not
our
only
focus
and
I
think
that
that's
also
important
it's
the
focused
on
the
work
that
we
do
every
day
and
incorporating
what
we're
talking
about
in
here
in
this
conversation
in
the
space
today
is
one
thing,
but
it's
also.
How
do
you
incorporate
it
in
all
aspects
of
city
life
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
few
minutes?
B
We
began
our
city
race,
see
why
the
race
dialogues
on
equity
and
racism
people
have
gone
into
those
conversations,
just
as
we
expected
curious
and
then,
when
the
conversation
happens,
there's
a
little
bit
sometimes
a
little
bit
of
a
little
bit
of
energy
in
the
room,
well
heat
in
the
room
and
then
there's
that
there's
always
that
time
of
second
stepping
back
and
reflecting
on
how
these
dialogues
are
moving
forward,
warrior
and
a
team
are
working
on.
We
didn't
start
off
for
Lori
Lori's
I
do
direktor.
Would
you
go
she's
back
there?
B
We
started
off
with
dr.
Tiye
montón,
who
sounded
the
conversation
for
us
and
laid
down
the
foundation
with
the
office
and
with
the
city
for
about
two
and
a
half
three
years,
and
then
Lori
I
started
this
role
this
year
earlier
this
year
to
really
stop
taking
that
dialogue
into
the
different
neighborhoods.
B
Access
to
opportunity
for
all
is
a
top
line
item
for
the
national
agenda
and
we're
approaching
the
next
term
in
Congress
in
the
2020
elections,
and
it's
a
conversation
that
we
should
all
be
engaged
in.
This
conversation
should
be
at
the
forefront
of
a
lot
of
different
elections
and
as
we
move
forward,
and
not
just
in
urban
America,
it
should
be
throughout
the
United
States
of
America
suburban
America,
because
it
really
is
about
understanding
the
challenges
that
people
haven't.
B
But
cities
are
in
the
best
position
right
now
to
take
on
and
advance
new
ideas
and
tools
and
partnerships
in
rebuilding
the
middle
class
or
rebuilding
an
opportunity
for
people
to
get
into
the
middle
class
into
the
working
class.
That's
what's
important
here.
How
do
we
create
opportunities
for
pipelines?
For
folks,
we
created
the
economic
mobility
lab
in
the
city
of
Boston
Rockefeller
100
resilient
cities
were
instrumental
and
helping
us
get
that
off
the
ground
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you.
B
The
idea
is
to
look
in
a
focused
way
at
existing
programs,
as
well
as
new
ideas,
to
see
how
we
can
close
racial
gaps,
promote
mobility
and
make
a
stronger
city
in
Boston.
In
case
you
haven't
heard
that
don't
know
this
enough
was
mentioned
earlier.
Boston's
about
700,000
people,
20%
of
the
people
that
live
in
our
city
are
remembrance
born
in
another
country.
B
48%
of
the
people
that
live
in
our
city,
a
first-generation
like
I,
am
51
%
of
the
people
that
live
in
our
city
of
people
caught
in
52
percent
of
the
households
in
our
city,
led
by
women.
When
you
think
about
the
diversity
of
the
strength
and
diversity,
we
are
that
city
that
has
a
diversity
across
all
different
areas.
The
goal
that
we
want
to
have
is
making
sure
and
I
know
that
you
talked
about
this
in
different
aspects
of
this
work
on
the
morning
sessions.
B
The
goal
is
to
connect
everything
we
do
as
a
city
and
everything
we
do
as
a
partner
to
meet
people
at
the
right
time
in
their
life
and
making
sure
we
continue
to
move
forward
with
evidence-based
equity.
That
supports
that.
That
means
education
from
pre-kindergarten
to
free,
Community
College
when
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
earlier
about.
Why
last
time
I
was
in
this
room
and
you
look
back
on
the
young
people
that
had
been
murdered
or
the
young
people
who
tickets
have
taking
somebody's
life,
oftentimes
I.
B
Think
the
reason
for
that
is
you
look
back
and
you
find
out.
You
do
a
little
history
of
that
person
who
got
killed
or
the
person
who
killed
somebody
and
inevitably
you'll,
find
out
most
times
you'll
find
out.
Somebody
dropped
out
of
school
and
you'll
find
out
that
they
didn't
get
nearly
shot
in
high
school.
They
didn't
get
an
early
sat
in
school,
so
universal
pre-kindergarten
is
key
in
my
opinion,
to
making
sure
we
move
forward
here
in
working
this
area.
It
means
youth,
employment
and
job
training.
B
We
have
about
11,000
summer
jobs
every
year
that
we
get
from
high
school
kids
in
the
city
of
Boston,
about
$8,000,
a
private
setting.
They
work
in
private
sector
jobs
and
about
another
3,000
roughly
are
in
the
public
sector
and
there's
other
jobs
as
well.
But
those
are
the
jobs
that
we're
focused
on
in
the
city.
As
far
as
creating
opportunities,
some
cities
in
America
have
come
to
us
and
said
we
want
to
copy
your
model,
Louisville
Kentucky
being
the
most
recent
where
they
said.
B
We
want
to
come,
Greg
Fischer
was
here,
and
he
said
we
want.
We
want
to
talk
about.
We
are
doing
in
Boston
because
we
want
to
do
that
in
in
our
cities
as
well,
we're
also
working
on
credit
building,
housing
access,
small
business
and
including
worker
cooperatives,
in
understanding
that
people
need
help
to
be
able
to
access
the
opportunity
of
a
home
first
to
an
apartment,
maybe
and
then
maybe
buying
home,
but
before
that
we
understand
that
people
have
ruined
their
credit
or
they
have
no
credit.
B
They
don't
know
how
to
approach
the
credit
and
we'll
create
the
office
of
financial
empowerment
to
really
help
people
to
be
able
to
get
those
can
get
get
their
their
feet
on
the
ground
if
you
own
and
lay
that
strong
foundation
for
them
to
be
able
to
move
forward.
We've
made
some
progress
as
a
see.
A
recent
report
found
Boston
the
number
one
in
economic
mobility
for
african-americans
in
the
top
10
for
Latinos,
but
unfortunately,
being
the
best
right
now
is
in
the
standard,
isn't
high
enough.
B
So
we
can
acknowledge
some
games,
but
we
also
can't
say
can't
hang
out
on
and
saying:
oh
we're
great
look
at
us
there's
some
more
work
that
we
have
to
do.
Those
black
and
Latinos
incomes
may
be
raising
rising,
but
this
significant
lower
than
their
white
counterparts.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
done
here
in
Boston
to
would
pay
equity
for
women.
Is
we've
worked
with
over
200
companies
to
get
data
information,
data
on
on
wages,
anonymously
they've,
given
us
their
information
and
we're
looking
to
see
where
the
wage
gaps
are
and
we're.
B
Seeing
that
you
know
the
wage
gap
between
men
and
women
is
big.
The
wage
gap
between
men
and
white
women
is
big
between
black
women.
It
gets
bigger
between
Latino
women,
it
gets
bigger,
so
we
see
that
the
significant
problems
there,
but
we're
working
trying
to
work
with
out
different
employers
to
be
able
to
get
the
information
and
get
the
data.
So
we
can
actually
figure
out.
How
do
we
deal
with
the
issue
we
created?
B
This
is
all
tied
into
the
work
that
we're
doing
so.
We
have
to
do
it
together
as
cities,
and
we
have
to
work
on
the
same
challenges,
because
a
lot
of
us
need
to
have
the
same
values.
So
the
work
that's
being
done
here
today,
so
important
out
of
these
conversations
across
the
cities.
Finally,
I
want
I
want
to
go
back
to
the
definition
of
resilience
that
many
people
are
thinking
about
right
now
in
our
environmental,
it's
in
our
environment.
B
Our
climate
Boston
is
proud
to
be
one
of
the
national
leaders
on
both
climate
action
and
climate
adaptation.
When
the
White
House
pulled
out
of
the
Paris
agreement,
we
helped
cities
who
stayed
in.
We
worked
with
anyone
from
LA
here
with
Eric
Garcetti.
We
work
with
Eric
and
we
move
forward
and
I
think
265
mayor
signed
on.
We
prayed
more
involvement
in
Paris
after
they
pulled
out
than
we
did
when
we
went
into
Paris,
but
Eric
Eric
was
one
of
the
leaders
in
that
and
led
the
charge
still
is
and
let
the
charge
on
that.
B
We
believe
100%
in
the
science
of
climate
change,
but
our
leadership
goes
beyond
data.
The
award
that
we
wanted,
the
Paris
conference
was
for
community
engagement
about
getting
involved
in
the
neighborhoods
I
want
to
thank
this
conversation
that
we're
having
to
are
resilient
partners
and
making
in
understand
that
whenever
we
talk
about
something
equities
at
the
core
of
our
conversation,
we
are
at
coastal
city
in
risk
of
major
flood
damage.
We
saw
it
in
New,
York
and
superstorm
sandy.
We
saw
it
in
New,
Orleans
and
Katrina.
B
We
saw
her
Houston
with
Harvey,
we
saw
in
Puerto
Rico.
We
saw
the
devastation
that
those
storms
caused.
We
also
created
a
vision
for
a
resilient
watson
Harbor.
We
launched
it
a
couple
weeks
ago
at
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
of
the
business
group
from
Boston.
I
felt
that's
a
best
place
to
start
it
because
the
air
assets
are
important
and
they
realize
that
if
they're
going
to
build
a
grow
in
the
city,
they
better
pay
attention
to
this
and
they
were
well.
They
open
arms
and
they
accepted
what
we
had
to
say.
B
So
it's
a
plan
for
a
new
and
improved
open
spaces
along
our
shoreline
that
also
protects
us
from
sea
level
rise
and
flooding.
So
when
you
look
at
it
when
it's
complete
there'll
be
a
beautiful
Park,
140
acres
throughout
the
city
of
Arts
there,
but
under
that
Park
is
resiliency
to
protect
our
shoreline
from
sea
level
rise.
B
These
are
gonna,
be
parks
and
beaches
and
trails
they're,
gonna
reconnect
people
to
the
waterfront
they're,
also
gonna
help
us
plan
to
find
more
equitable
access
to
our
waterfront
residents
and
also
protect
lower-income
neighbors
and
public
housing
developments
equally
along
the
path,
something
that
when
the
flood
happened
in
Houston,
anyone
from
usin
L
me
a
Turner
was
a
brand
new
mayor
of
Houston
and
he
called
me.
He
called
me:
I
called
him
and
we
sent
down
some
supplies
to
him
and
I
talked
to
him
afterwards,
and
he
said
it
was
amazing.
B
It
was
sad
seeing
his
city
under
water
and
the
water
not
going
down,
and
a
lot
of
the
poorer
families
were
the
ones
most
affected
by
it.
Just
like
Katrina
in
New
Orleans.
Do
you
think
about
these
floods?
It's
often
the
poor
of
neighborhoods
and
the
poor
families
that
could
hit
the
hardest.
Our
resiliency
plan
protects
our
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Boston.
It
protects
the
areas
of
Georgia
Sur
in
the
South
End
and
Roxbury
in
those
areas
and
in
the
heart
of
our
city,
we
can
literally
yeah
after
we
done
with
this.
B
We're
literally
gonna
be
able
to
knit
our
neighborhoods
we're
gonna
have
better
connectivity
in
our
neighborhoods
with
people
going
to
be
able
to
walk
those
same
neighborhoods
I
just
mentioned,
be
able
to
walk.
You
can
walk
through
them
now,
but
you
cross
the
streets
and
going
over
into
you're.
Gonna
go
jumping
over
highways,
but
this
is
gonna
connect
all
of
our
city
streets
in
together,
so
people
able
to
walk
through
our
city
and
access
our
waterfront
from
anywhere
in
the
city
of
Boston.
B
They
want
it's
truly,
it's
gonna
be
healing
in
a
unifying
project
as
we
move
forward.
Another
example
of
how
transformative
this
conversation
can
be
about
resilience.
It's
another
way
that
cities
like
Boston
in
cities
joining
us
today
are
able
to
make
a
different
course
for
our
country
and
a
different
course
for
the
history
around
equity.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
here
today.
I
just
want
to
say
one
more
thing:
we
can
get
caught
up
in
the
national
conversation
and
I
think
we
have
to
be
part
of
the
conversation.
B
But
just
remember
this:
when
you
go
back
home,
your
cities
can
lead
the
conversation
on
equity.
Your
cities
can
lead
the
conversation
about
resiliency
and
I.
Think
it's
important
that
you
talk
to
your
governments
about
making
sure
they
intertwine
it
in
every
aspect
of
their.
Your
government
I
have
a
meeting
every
Friday,
its
cabinet
meeting
at
the
cabinet
meeting.
B
We
have
every
department
there,
every
Commission,
every
chief
there
from
economic
development,
police
and
fire
to
health
and
human
services,
to
policy
to
every
to
housing
and
having
those
dialogues
and
having
those
conversations
so
people
each
understand
and
I've
noticed
in
five
years
now.
The
conversation
that
might
happen
on
one
side
of
the
table
is
making
its
way
over
to
the
other
side
of
the
table.
Any
questions
are
being
asked
of
each
other
about
how
do
we
move
forward?
So
again,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
here
today.
B
I
want
to
thank
Rockefeller
for
your
strong
support.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
our
other
partners.
Don't
know
I
am
busy,
but
one
thing
kind
of
to
give
me
a
shadow,
because
when
Rockefeller
expanded
Pines
came
on
board,
I
want
to
thank
Boston
University
for
hosting
us
today.
I
think
you
Jake,
Sullivan
and
I
look
forward
to
getting
some
questions.
A
C
B
Question
I
think.
The
first
thing
is
that
you
make
sure
that
it's
incorporated
in
the
budget.
You
make
sure
that
it's
incorporated
in
departments
you
make
sure
that
first
of
its
asset
leadership.
So
when
I'm,
not
here
anymore,
you
wanted
engrained
in
city
governments
throughout
different
departments
and
I.
Think
that
you
have
to
be.
You
can't
just
create
an
office
of
saying
that
you
know
I'm
gonna
have
this
office
over
here
and
then
new
man
comes
in
a
new
administration
comes
in
an
office
and
that
office
is
gone.
B
D
And
then
well
the
types
of
resilience
that
you
talked
about:
the
social
resilience
and
the
ecological
resilience
economic
resilience.
These
are
things
that
go
well
beyond
Boston
and
I.
Wonder
if
you
can
speak
to
what
the
City
of
Boston
is
doing
to
ensure
regional
partnerships
with
our
neighbors
who
are
affected
by
the
same
things.
D
B
One
of
the
things
that
I
came
on
the
legislature,
so
when
I
was
a
state
representative
was
there
for
16
years
I.
It
was
a
power
in
collaboration
as
a
legislator
and
getting
to
know
reps
and
Senators
from
other
parts
rapmon.
So
reps
I
was
knobs
representatives
from
other
parts
of
the
state
and
building
up
those
relationships
and
in
the
past,
cities
have
been
very
kind
of
isolated
that
Delta
themselves.
B
You
know
Boston's
here,
Cambridge
is
over
here
Revere's
over
here,
some
of
those
over
the
quincies
down
here
Braintree
and
when
I
took
over
as
mayor
and
I
serve
some
first
of
all,
some
of
the
mayors
that
that
a
man
is
worth
state
representatives.
So
there's
a
natural
relationship
there
and
really
thinking
about
it,
has
to
be
regional
when
I
think
of
Boston
and
I.
B
And
if
you
look
at
our
region,
which
will
point
to
million
people,
if
you
go
regionalization,
Greater
Boston
area,
what
we
do
in
the
city
of
Boston
affects
the
connections
so
whether
it's
housing
or
economic
development
or
climate
resiliency
or
all
the
different
conversations
were
having
we
aren't.
Having
these
dialogues
and
I've
noticed
it.
We
just
launched
two
weeks.
Three
weeks
ago,
we
launched
a
housing
plan
in
the
in
the
Greater
Boston
area
to
create
a
hundred
eighty-five
thousand
units
new
housing
by
the
year.
B
2030
I
was
sitting
on
a
panel
at
the
aquarium
a
few
weeks
ago
with
the
mayor
of
Lane
and
the
mayor
of
Salem,
who
of
water.
When
communities
talking
about
resiliency
and
sea-level
rise
in
their
communities
and
how
it
impacts
their
communities-
and
they
don't
have
a
waterfront-
that's
developed
like
ours-
they
want
to
develop
their
waterfront
and
they're
looking
at
mistakes
that
we
might
have
made
in
Boston
by
not
preparing
resiliency
in
the
waterfront
that
they
can
make
resiliency
in
the
waterfront.
B
So
it's
about
that's
about
collaboration,
having
conversations
are
not
being
afraid
to
share
and
realizing
the
impact
that
it's
a
regional
approach.
It's
not
a
City
of
Austin
approached
a
regional
approach,
and
how
can
we
learn
from
my
colleagues
around
and
how
can
my
colleague
learn
from
us?
You
have
to
have
that
conversation.
You
have
to
have
that
dialogue.
You
know
we
might
not
collaborate
per
se
with
Springfield
on
housing,
but
we
do
have
to
collaborate
with
Springfield
on
Carbon
Reduction.
B
You
know,
I
think
it's
important.
We
might
not
collaborate
with
Holyoke
on
whatever
it
is,
but
we
have
to
collaborate.
Holyoke
on
violence
use
violence,
and
how
do
we?
How
do
we
come
out
with
some
ideas
on
the
combating
unit,
violence
which
inevitably
leads
to
another
conversation?
So
I
think
that
III
felt
it's
at
the
core
of
our
work
here.
B
You
know
I'm
sure,
there's
a
lot
of
push
back
behind
my
back,
but
everywhere
I
go
I
talk
about
it.
So
if
I
have
a
fundraiser,
a
local
fundraiser
in
a
neighborhood
I
talk
about
it.
If
I
have
a
fundraiser
and
everyone,
the
rooms,
a
white
person
on
mostly
people,
you
know,
90%
of
people
are
white
people
I
talk
about
it,
because
if
I'm
not
talking
about
it-
and
it's
not
in
my
heart,
they
don't
believe
in
it.
Then
we're
not
gonna
make
a
difference
and
the
changes
are
gonna
happen.
B
You
know
a
lot
of
the
older
people
in
Boston,
the
elders,
if
you
will,
and
in
the
black
community
they
went
to
the
civil
rights
movement
and
I.
Think
a
lot
of
people
felt
that
that
was
the
battle
and
I
think
today,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
the
young
young,
black
people
and
Latinos
and
Asian's
and
people
thought
the
conversation
is
about
fairness
and
equity
and
they
they're
not
seeing
the
games
haven't
been
when
I
said
the
games.
The
games
have
been
main
that
we
should
even
be
talking
about
game
sound.
B
We
should
be
talking
about
quality,
we're
talking
50
60
70
years
later,
and
we're
still
talking
about
shortfalls
and
problems.
We
have
so
I'm
not
getting
pushed
we're,
not
getting
pushed
back
anywhere.
I
think
the
big
issue
we're
gonna
have
is:
how
do
you
get
involved
in
the
conversation?
And
you
know
when
I
we
had
a
second
town-hall
meeting
was
that
northeast
tonight
and
a
young
person
got
up
was
Latino
he's
actually
a
principal
one
of
our
schools,
and
he
said
I
know.
B
What's
up
another
woman
got
up
and
said
this
conversation
shouldn't
be
happening
here
should
be
happening
in
Roxbury,
about
racial
equity
and
about
racism
and
I
didn't
get
into
a
conversation
back
and
forth
with
the
person.
But
I
didn't
agree
with
that,
because
I
think
the
conversation
needs
to
happen
in
white
neighborhoods.
We
need
to
have
the
conversation
about
racism
and
white
neighborhoods,
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
understand
you
know.
What's
everyone
complaining
about
this
is
the
civil
right
moment.
B
You
know
everyone
everyone's
on
the
same
page
today,
no
we're
not
more
very
different
pages
and
I.
Think
people
need
to
understand
what
that
means.
Different
pages
understands
well
more
houses,
yeah
I'm
gonna,
tell
you
a
quick
story:
I
told
straight
a
million
times,
but
will
Morales
I
had
a
bunch
of
folks
that
worked
with
me
in
my
office
one
day
it
was
response
to.
There
was
a
shooting
in
Boston
and
I
made
a
comment
on
the
radio
on
TV
about
you
know.
B
We
need
the
community
to
help
us
out
here,
step
up
and
help
us
with
with
finding
out
who
did
this
and
it's
coming
forward
and
a
couple
people
around
me
said
you
know
that's
a
very
there's.
A
very
insensitive
conversation
happens
you
to
reach
Ramat
eyes
in
community
and
a
nice
okay
Louis.
Let's
have
a
dialogue,
so
he
brought
a
hundred
people
bunch
of
people
in
the
room
we
started
talking
about.
B
We
sat
talking
about
my
comments
and
how
do
I
handle
my
comments
because
his
we're
talking
in
a
community
primarily
of
cut
people,
color
black
people
and
I,
made
that
comments,
and
my
comments
were
insensitive
to
a
lot
of
people
that
might
be
watching
saying:
I'm
reach
Ramat
eyes
a
neighborhood,
so
we
got
to
that
conversation.
We
did
the
dialogue
after
that.
We
started
talking
about
I,
don't
know
how
we
got
in
the
conversation
we
started
talking
about
everything
and
we'll
was
talking
about
his
son
teaching,
his
son.
B
How
to
drive-
and
he
talked
about
you
know
like
I-
was
taught
how
to
drive.
You
learn
how
to
drive,
go
forward
and
reverse
a
parallel
park
and
put
your
blinkers
on
look
in
the
mirrors
and
all
that
stuff,
and
then
he
talked
about
being
pulled
over
and
he
said,
I
teach
my
son
I
taught
my
son
when
you
pulled
over
to
you,
know,
make
sure
you
take
your
wallet
out
of
your
pocket
little
laser.
B
We
look
forward
and
that
never
entered
my
mind,
because
that
was
not
part
of
my
driving
lesson
and
I
thought
to
myself.
There
is
such
a
a
disconnect
and
understanding
really
what
some
of
the
some
of
the
challenges
are
of
equity.
It
really
is,
and
getting
to
that
point,
that
we
are
truly
understanding
each
other,
so
I
think
that
I
know
I'm
going
way
beyond
the
ant's
question,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
that
that
we
continue
this
conversation.
B
Everyone's
talked
out
from
this
morning,
let
me
just
I'm
can
I
just
if
you
don't
mind
who
just
go
around
just
tell
me
like
city
it
from
just
letting
an
idea
like
will
use
from
you
know
some
Boston
here
you
just
yell
it
out.
Okay,
you
see
on
sale,
Boston
or,
if
you're
from
another
city,
just
tell
me
where
you're
from
you
know
might
New
York
Boston.
A
B
Way
back,
Boston
I
know
some
Boston
back
there.
Alright
well,
listen
anyone
else
when
the
other
cities
sitting
here
well,
thank
you
for
coming,
and
every
city
that
was
been
mentioned
today.
I
think
that
your
cities
are
working
on
the
issues.
You
know.
I've
worked
with
Atlanta
in
the
past
of
work
with
surly
Louisville
I
work
with
Tulsa
I
work
with
LA
Eric,
very
much
so
New
York
young
me
a
brand
new,
so
we're
just
getting
to
know
each
other,
your
old
memory
we
came
in
together
at
the
same
time.
B
You
know
we
have
these
conversations,
these
dialogues,
that
when
we
get
together
at
the
US
Conference
of
Mayors,
whether
it's
in
DC
or
leadership
meetings
or
when
we
have
the
conference.
Inevitably
these
conversations
come
on.
We
were
just
in
Columbia,
South
Carolina
with
me,
a
Steven
Benjamin
a
couple
weeks
ago
he's
the
leader
he
was
he's
the
chair
of
the
US
Conference
of
Mayors
this
year
and
that
you
know
we
were
at
one
of
those
don't
tell
that
he
had
us
is
about
40
minutes,
I.
B
Think
that,
and
inevitably
this
conversation
comes
out
the
blood,
equity
and
race,
and
we
tie
it
into
what's
happening
on
a
national
level,
but
we
also
come
back
to
saying
that
the
impact
can
be
made
locally
and
all
it
takes.
Is
one
city,
one
city
in
this
room
to
do
something
about
it,
to
be
able
to
share
best
practices
and
share
ideas,
and
that's
what
we
do
is
mask.
That's
what
we
do
with
cities,
that's
what
we
do
City
Council,
that's
what
legislators
are
on
the
country.
