Project Outputs

We started publishing the Future Culture Newspaper in December 2016, in English, Spanish, Bengali, Sinhala, Tamil, and Urdu.

On March 28, 2017, we unveiled a preliminary set of design and policy recommendations to realize a more livable North Shore.

On July 13, 2017, we selected two public art proposals to pilot based on the recommendations.
