The city of Boston is asking residents to rate the city’s priorities as it looks to the future and plans for Boston 2030. After getting initial feedback earlier this spring from more than 10,000 residents, the city  is now asking residents to prioritize the themes. Ideas like developing more affordable housing, improving public transit (and infrastructure in general), creating more open space and encouraging entrepreneurial ventures are just some of the concepts shared.

Help Boston prioritize these concepts and share your thoughts.
