City 360 Cambridge is an independent public-interest project operated by TOKUMA Foundation.
Cambridge belongs to all of us.
It helps residents understand how Cambridge is changing, examine the evidence and participate in the future of their neighborhoods.
01 · the city
Every lot, one record
What the new law allows, block by block.
02 · the tracker
Citywide, then your street
125 tracked projects down to one parcel.

What a member sees
Inside the CIVIC FORUM workspace.
Recorded from the working platform. No narration and no sound, so nothing is lost without audio. Figures shown are modeled legal capacity, not expected development.
These counts appear once the source feeds are connected and reviewed. Until then no number is shown, because an illustrative figure presented as a live count is the error this page exists to avoid.
One · One address
Every citywide decision eventually reaches a street.
A parcel record can contain zoning, ownership, buildings, permits, trees, environmental conditions and public decisions. City 360 brings these records together while distinguishing verified facts from estimates and scenarios.
Past
What was here?
Present
What exists and what rules apply?
Future
What is permitted, proposed or merely possible?
Shown through 9 Wyman Road.
Understand your city. Find your neighborhood. Examine the facts. Help shape what comes next.
Two · The whole city
See change across Cambridge, not as isolated projects, but as a citywide pattern.
- What is being proposed?
- What has been permitted?
- What has actually been built?
- How many existing and new homes are involved?
- How affordable are the resulting homes?
- What trees, open space or historic resources are affected?
- Which neighborhoods experience the greatest change?
- Which public bodies made each decision?
Six of these questions are being followed measure by measure, with every figure carrying its source and every gap naming the office that holds it. See the trackers
