About

The Assembly Square neighborhood planning process will be unique for the City of Somerville. Where in other areas the challenge faced by Planning Staff has been to preserve and enhance the most desirable characteristics and potential of an existing neighborhood, this work will be focused on realizing Assembly's full promise as a Transformational Area. Assembly Square also requires that we establish an urban design framework suited for the needs and pressures of what is becoming one of Somerville’s major new Regional Centers, an effort that will rest heavily on assessing the status of current infrastructure to ensure it provides support for expected new growth.
