Imagine Boston 2030: Your selfies help us picture the future of Boston

Earlier this month, we hit the streets with our traveling photo booth to encourage all who live, work and play in our city to picture themselves in the future of Boston with us.

Our selfie station visited City Hall Plaza for its kickoff event and made its way to Roxbury, Dorchester, East Boston and Downtown Crossing over the course of a week. We finished our journey at the City of Boston’s 74th annual Christmas tree lighting on Boston Common.

The Imagine Boston team was excited to see so many Bostonians stop by, selfie with us, and share their ideas on transportation, housing, development, city culture, and so much more. We even had a few notable attendees stop by our booth, including Boston’s beloved Keytar Bear and Mayor Walsh! Here are some of our favorite shots from the week.
