The award-winning Boston Indicators Project is a civic initiative coordinated by the Boston Foundation in partnership with the City of Boston/BRA and the Metropolitan Area Planning Council. Its success stems from the commitment, expertise and engagement of project participants.
The Project's purpose is to foster informed civic dialogue and to track progress on shared goals. To that end, it sponsors training sessions, seminars to engage and connect leaders of all ages, and a curriculum for media professionals.
The Boston Foundation will release biennial reports through 2030 -- Boston's 400th anniversary.
