Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC)

Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) is a regional planning agency founded in 1963 that serves the 101 cities and towns of Metropolitan Boston. With the slogan "Our mission is to promote smart growth and regional collaboration," MAPC focuses on various aspects of community development, including municipal management, land use planning, natural resource protection, transportation, housing, public safety, economic development, and equity. The agency is guided by its regional plan, MetroCommon 2050, which not only shapes its initiatives but also engages the public in shaping the region's future.

MAPC operates under the governance of representatives from each city and town in the region, as well as gubernatorial appointees and designees of major public agencies. The organization's structure involves eight subregions, each led by an MAPC staff member and governed by appointees from the member cities and towns.

Currently, there is no available information regarding MAPC's recent investment or the involved investors. The agency is headquartered in the United States.
