Our Future, Our Tools

We visualize Brookline as a lively, diverse, welcoming community.

People, not property, have always been the engine of the long-term economic well-being of the greater Boston area. Taking charge of Brookline’s future means we need smaller, more energy efficient, transit oriented homes, where young couples can start their families, and older folks looking to downsize can live and work.

Our tools to build that future
