In episode 49 of America
Adapts, Doug Parsons is invited to Harvard University to cover
the Graduate School of Design’s end of semester studio
seminar. In the spring semester, graduate students
collaborated with the East Boston
community to develop an adaptation action plan. The results
of those efforts were presented during the spring seminar.
Doug spoke with students, Harvard professors and members of the
East Boston community to talk about the recommendations presented
and what’s next. Learn about Harvard’s innovative approach to
climate change planning and community engagement!
EAST BOSTON ADAPTS – Doug talked with the professors at Harvard
responsible for organizing this course. The organizers were Prof.
Kathy Spiegelman, Prof. Stephen Gray and Prof. Daniel D’Oca.
Doug also spoke with Prof. Jesse Keenan (and previous podcast
guest) about the studio course and his own assessment of what the
students came up with in their recommendations.
HARVARD PRESENTS – Doug interviewed students presenting as part of
this studio course as they shared their experiences working with
East Boston. The students also discussed their own adaptation
career ambitions.
COMMUNITY AND PLANNERS - Doug interviewed some of the ‘critics’ invited to critique the students’ studio work. Some were representatives from the community of East Boston. Also invited were representatives from planning agencies in the Boston region.
