Field Experiences

The city of Boston is often recognized for its rich history, but with its carbon reduction goals and support of numerous initiatives to both address the climate crisis and improve overall quality of life, Boston has quickly reinvented itself as an innovative and sustainable city.

Attendees learned about the latest advancements in sustainable design, renewable energy, green infrastructure and the forward-thinking initiatives driving Boston toward a more resilient and environmentally responsible future. 

Attendees witnessed panoramic views of the Boston skyline, where modern marvels blend seamlessly with centuries-old landmarks.

Hosted by the Charles River Boat Company, this tour offered spectacular views of historic and contemporary architecture along Boston Harbor, the Charles River Locks, and the Charles River basin.

Attendees were immersed in this charming architecture tour of Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood, one of the oldest communities in the city, featuring elegant Federal-style townhouses, narrow cobblestone streets, hidden gardens, and gaslit street lamps. 

Just past Boston Common Park, the tour continued into the North End, known as Boston’s “Little Italy” for its Italian American population and Italian restaurants.  The city’s oldest residential community features vibrant streets lined with colorful row houses, Colonial-era dwellings, and ornate Victorian-era residences.
