The Boston Civic Design Commission (BCDC) provides a forum for the general public and professional design community to participate in the shaping of the city's physical form and natural environment. Members of the Commission are seasoned design professionals with a deep understanding of local context. They are charged with critiquing the aesthetics of proposed development projects and ensuring that the projects have a positive impact on the city's public realm. The BCDC holds public meetings on Tuesday evenings. The first Tuesday of each month (unless noted otherwise) is the Monthly Commission Meeting when the Commission reviews new projects and votes to recommend projects to the BPDA Board. A subsequent Tuesday is a working session with project teams and smaller groups of Commissioners, where feedback and recommendations are provided on a project's design. Interested citizens are invited to participate, and representatives of the Boston Society of Architects and the Boston Society of Landscape Architects regularly attend to share their opinions.
