Record Type: Component
Abstract: THE BOSTON TRANSPORTATION PLANNING REVIEW (BTP) WHICH REVIEWED EXPERIENCES IN CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PLANNING, WAS PROPOSED TO CONSIDER THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM IN A VERY BROAD SCOPE. THE PAPERS PRESENTED DEMONSTRATE THE WAY IN WHICH THE INTENSIVE PARTICIPATORY APPROACH HAS AFFECTED VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF THE STUDY. THE STUDY WAS INTENSIVE IN INVOLVEMENT OF COMMUNITY INTERESTS IN THE AREA OF TECHNICAL WORK AND TECHNICAL DECISION-MAKING; IN THE AREA OF EDUCATION OF COMMUNITY AND OTHER GROUPS TOWARD PARTICIPATION IN A TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROCESS; AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY-ADVOCATED OPTIONS WITH RESPECT TO FACILITY ALTERNATIVES WITHIN THE PROJECT CORRIDOR FRAMEWORK. THE PAPERS PRESENTED COVER THE BROADER ASPECTS OF THE PROCESS AND HOW BTPR SOUGHT TO DEAL WITH THE CONTROVERSIES WITH WHICH IT WAS CHARGED; THE WAY IN WHICH PARTICIPATION AFFECTED THE METHODOLOGY OF THE BTPR; THE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT ASPECTS OF THE STUDY AND IN PARTICULAR ON THE KINDS OF FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS AND PROPOSALS THAT EMERGED; THE ECOLOGICAL ANALYSIS IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF RESPONSIVENESS TO COMMUNITY INTERESTS; AND THE DEPLOYMENT OF EFFORT TO THE REPRESENTATION OF COMMUNITY VIEWS. IMPORTANT FEATURES OF BTPR WERE ITS LARGE SCALE, EXPANSIVE, FLEXIBLE FORMAT OF STUDY AND ITS MANDATE TO SETTLE SPECIFIC AND HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL BUILD/NO-BUILD DECISIONS CONCERNING EXPRESSWAYS. THE LATTER ASPECT PLACED A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE EFFORT IN THE STUDY ON PROJECT LEVEL CONSIDERATION WHICH GAVE THE STUDY ONE OF ITS MOST INNOVATIVE CHARATERISTICS.
