Getting Involved
There are many ways to help create a more sustainable society. Cambridge residents, businesses, and institutions are already taking part in a host of efforts.
Comprehensive Planning
Envision Cambridge is the City’s current citywide plan, a roadmap to the year 2030, setting out a course of action to promote sustainable and inclusive growth. It establishes a framework for growth management that builds upon and complements existing patterns of development, while meeting the needs of today’s community and future generations. Prior to the establishment of Envision Cambridge, the comprehensive plan for Cambridge was composed of a set of documents: The Zoning Map and the Zoning Ordinance, the City’s growth policy document, Toward A Sustainable Future, and the major area-wide planning studies across the city.
Free Sunscreen in Parks
Keep Cambridge healthy and extend play time by adding free sunscreen dispensers to city parks and playgrounds! This project will fund dispenser installation and ongoing maintenance for three years.
Economic Opportunity and Development
This is the home page for the Economic Opportunity and Development Division. It provides information on the programs and services of the Economic Opportunity and Development Division in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Regional Pathways
Regional pathways -- i.e., off-road separated paths that serve cyclists, walkers, joggers, skaters, etc. -- are important faciities in Cambridge and the greater Boston region.
Resources for Families
The City of Cambridge has several programs and resources for young people with disabilities and families.
Creating a new ECKOS system
