Community Call high school students from Allston/Brighton meeting at the Harvard Ed Portal, identified gentrification as a critical topic affecting the lives of Allston-Brighton residents. In addition to developing a website template, they developed a series of YouTube videos to support the City of Boston’s communication strategies to increase gentrification awareness (click on highlighted text areas for links).
The students proposed their website to Boston City administrators to be used as a hub for information sharing about gentrification in Boston. Their recommendation includes a blog, a forum, a resource page, and other suggestions for students, parents, teachers, and various stakeholders to address the issues and effects of gentrification in an open and transparent forum.
