“The Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) approved a Compact Living two-year pilot program, creating clear guidelines for new residential units that are smaller in size than typical units. The new policy aims to increase options for housing in response to growing demand, promote sustainable development, encourage innovation and creative design solutions, and minimize potential traffic resulting from increased density. The pilot program is an important component of Mayor Martin J. Walsh’s updated Housing a Changing City: Boston 2030, which responds to Boston’s population growth by increasing the city’s overall housing goals to 69,000 new units by the year 2030.” - BPDA
