Boston Mayor Martin Walsh yesterday launched Imagine Boston 2030, the Hub’s first citywide planning process in 50 years.

Walsh announced the initiative at the Innovative Design Alternatives Summit (IDeAS) at Faneuil Hall. In a video posted at Imagine.Boston.gov, city residents of different ages and backgrounds speak about their aspirations for the future of Boston. Visitors are encouraged to “Share your vision. Shape our city.”

On the website, city resident can select how they would like to participate in the initiative, whether online via email or Facebook or face-to-face at public meetings or group discussions. Later this year, the city will use this information to help engage the community and gather feedback.

The mayor hopes that the two-year public engagement process will help the city create “a roadmap for success leading up to Boston’s 400th birthday,” according to a press release from the mayor’s office.

“It’s been 50 years since we had a comprehensive plan for Boston,” Walsh said in a video message that played before his remarks. “In 1965 people were looking for the confidence to believe that the city’s decline had ended. Today we’re a thriving, healthy, and innovative city. Now is our chance to set the course for the next generation. I’m inviting you to join us in imagining the Boston of 2030. From economic development to open space, from education to equality, your voice is the key to our success.”
