From Collective Vision to Strategic Direction
Lowell Forward is a twenty-year roadmap that charts the city’s path toward more vibrant neighborhoods, resilient infrastructure, restored natural spaces, and an energized downtown. Built in close collaboration with residents, community leaders, and city staff, the plan reflects a shared vision for how Lowell can grow with intention.
Our team developed a strategic framework to pinpoint high-leverage opportunities—small moves capable of generating meaningful, long-term change. The work integrated urban planning, brand storytelling, public engagement programming, and digital communication into a cohesive process that helped the community see its future and mobilize around it.
Learn more about the plan in the Lowell Forward website or instagram. The Utile team worked with the City of Lowell to develop this plan. Project team: Matthew Littell, Taskina Tareen, Rahi Patel, Avery Robertson, Kevin Chong, Alessandro Ricciardi, Kyle Jonasen
