Visioning | Planning Tool Exchange. Community visioning is defined very differently by each community or organization undertaking it. Components of a vision often include goals for population growth and development; targeted land uses in different parts of a community; ways to attract diversity; differentiation of wanted and unwanted growth and development; and new ideas for community services, institutions, or identity. Projects vary significantly, but a typical process would include public announcements to initiate the idea, a committee to design and run the visioning process, a series of meetings or surveys to gain feedback from the community, drafting of a vision statement or plan, review of the plan by the community, and finally multiple stages of revision, further review, and discussions about how to proceed. Stages may be facilitated by professional consultants, and the process may include other events such as community festivals or creative arts-based and participatory tools.

Where are we now? Boston Science and Engineering Lectures. Selected Lectures on Science and Engineering in the Boston Area Boston supports a pretty impressive culture of lectures and lecture-like events. The main purpose of this list is to distill from this culture a sense of the driving issues in contemporary science and technology. From time to time I include talks outside this focus that seem likely to be of interest to the technical community. Caveats: The list is not remotely comprehensive and selection criteria are subjective. Most critically: This is a highly volatile landscape. There are two routes to this list: a website and a mailing list. Blue boxes represent events advertised as child- friendly; yellow boxes, multi-day events. Please let me know if I ought to be monitoring somebody not on my list of sources. I would appreciate your mentioning this list to people with compatible interests. -- Fred Hapgood Last update: 11.1150 Selected Groups, Clubs, Societies, & Meetups Selected New England Museums DIY-focused organizations & resources.
