Chinatown Cultural Plan is a collective vision that identifies the culture, history and heritage of Boston Chinatown with a policy agenda that covers housing, mobility, health, environmental justice and open space.
These vignettes show simple visualizations of stories and quotes that emerged from the community engagement process. The original prompting questions include:
1. What is a memory of Chinatown that evokes a feeling of belonging?
2. What makes Chinatown, Chinatown?
3. What makes Chinatown sacred to you?
4. If Chinatown disappeared tomorrow, what would you miss most?
- Subject Matter: Community Development, Arts and Culture, Neighborhood Preservation, Boston Chinatown
