What's New

The MetroFuture Plan is the regional smart growth plan for the Metro Boston region.  It includes detailed goals for development and preservation, and specific strategies to equitably distribute the benefits and burdens of growth. Its implementation strategies contain recommendations for actions to achieve our goals. Perhaps our most important “product” is the constituency of over 5,000 “plan builders” who helped to design MetroFuture and who are committed to its implementation.

MetroFuture Builds on the Region’s Strengths - its diverse people and landscape, a history of innovation, and a commitment to education and civic engagement.

MetroFuture Focuses on Growth where it Already Exists - where we live, work and play, linked by an efficient transportation system and protects our natural resources.

MetroFuture Invests in our Residents by valuing improvements in health, education, and quality of place, and by expanding opportunities for everyone in the region.
