Office hours are held on a sign-up basis – if there are no sign-ups for an office hour session six (6) hours before the start of that session then it will be canceled for the day.

Please join the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) and members of the BPDA Zoning Reform team at our virtual office hours for design professionals in the Boston area! This will be a space for design professionals who work with the built environment (architects, urban designers, etc.) to ask questions, provide feedback, and discuss the analysis and drafting work for citywide zoning districts in neighborhood centers and along main streets as part of the BPDA's Squares + Streets initiative. There will be recurring afternoon sessions for these office hours.

These Office Hours will be an opportunity to drop in to chat, ask questions, and share your thoughts on the analysis and drafting work for new zoning district regulations that will allow for housing growth, active streets, and a mix of building types and land uses in main street areas.

There are no formal presentations or planned agenda items at these office hours, so we ask that you review the information and materials available on the Squares + Streets Zoning Districts page and come prepared with any thoughts, comments, or questions that you’d like to bring to our attention!
