DESCRIPTION:The completion of Interstate Highways 93\, 95 and 90 in Boston 
 - known as the Central\; Artery/Tunnel Project or the “Big Dig” - is a
  multi-faceted story of urban transportation policy and planning\, citizen
  activism and its impacts on how transportation systems were built in the 
 last decades of the 20th century through the present day\, the resolution 
 of extraordinary design and engineering complexities\, and the politics of
  paying for such a massive infrastructure intervention. It is also a story
  about urban renewal - not in the classic mid-1950s sense but in a more mo
 dern sense of knitting communities together following the neglectful plann
 ing of mid-century America.\n\nThis IAP offering requires participants to 
 listen to each of the 9 episodes of the recently released WGBH news podcas
 t\, “The Big Dig.”  Each 90 minute session will require participants t
 o offer reaction\, reflection and insights from the podcast\, and provide 
 an opportunity to I ask questions of two MIT lecturers and former state tr
 ansportation secretaries: the architect of the Big Dig\, Fred Salvucci\, a
 nd the architect of the Metropolitan Highway System operating and funding 
 legislation\, Jim Aloisi.  Fred and Jim will facilitate the conversation a
 nd attempt to link lessons learned from the Big Dig to the planning and po
 licy context that informs our thinking today.\n\nOpen to MIT community onl
 y (students\, staff\, faculty\, DUSP alums).  To resister\, email Jim Aloi
 si (jaloisi@mit.edu).
