A group of Boston Landmarks commissioners and historic district commissioners will discuss impending climate changes in Boston and their effects on the historic fabric throughout the City.
The conversation will focus on climate change and how it may affect Boston's built environment, and specifically historic structures.

The Run of the Charles welcomes paddlers for 6-mile, 9-mile, 19-mile, and 24-mile races along the Charles River.
Kick off the paddling season with the 36th Run of the Charles: Boston's premier paddling race.
Run of the Charles, the Charles River Watershed Association's signature annual event, is the largest flat-bottomed boat race in New England and a major event in Greater Boston. The event draws 1,500 racers and thousands more spectators each year!
In 2018, Boston celebrates the 50th anniversary of the completion of Boston City Hall.
The building was designed by a young architectural team who, over 255 other entries, won the chance to build a new city hall in an innovative 1962 international design competition.
We'll have on display an exhibit of architectural design materials illustrating how Boston City Hall was created. The Boston Landmarks Commission Open House offers a fresh look at the building’s architecture, shows off the lobby's recent, well-done updates to lighting and visitor access, along with insight into a recent master planning process to Rethink City Hall.
The marathon will be held on Patriots Day, Monday, April 16.

"One Boston Day" encourages random acts of kindness and spreading goodwill.
Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the City of Boston will once again honor Boston's resilience, generosity and strength on April 15, now known as "One Boston Day." The day serves as an opportunity to recognize the good in our community, celebrate one another, and reflect on the spirit and resilience of the people of Boston that was exemplified in response to the loss and tragedies of April 15, 2013.
Individuals and organizations are encouraged to share their plans for One Boston Day on the official website and on social media using the hashtag #OneBostonDay.
"One Boston Day" encourages random acts of kindness and spreading goodwill, and activities across the City will encourage individuals to give back to their community. The tradition came together in 2015 based on the desire expressed by many survivors to pass on the kindness, generosity, and support they received following the 2013 Boston Marathon.
