Malden Works brings together a new coalition of community leaders, environmental advocates, local residents, and government stakeholders. It proposes an innovative 'both-and' model, resisting waterfront gentrification while introducing essential climate resiliency improvements with existing industrial uses and open space. Starting with the only publicly-owned property along Malden's riverfront which houses Malden's Department of Public Works, the physical transformation of the project site and the planning process seeks to serve as a model for similar urbanized waterways in metro Boston and beyond.
