Our current jurisdictional structures are unable to address the complexity and nuance of spatial forces and conditions playing out at the coastal edge. Water can no longer be treated as a force to be kept out with static boundaries. The Boston Coastal Commonwealth project explores water and sediment as dynamic materials that are assets in a strategic opening of the edge for common benefit in Boston Harbor. Dredged sediment is considered as an asset, rather than waste, to create public littoral zones in post-industrial Designated Port Areas (DPAs) dominating the coastline. DPAs can be sites for acknowledging risk and redefining the coastal edge as a constantly fluctuating territory that can be designed to produce public benefits.
