Tour Description
Explore Boston through a different lens that reveals the cycles of invention and reinvention that have shaped the built environment and forged a dynamic contemporary city.
As we trace some of Boston’s earliest streets, we’ll also consider clues that were once above our heads and that still lie beneath our feet, which reveal a history of urban ambition that has meant moving hills and filling coves, managing water, and transporting people
Join us as we see how Boston has addressed the challenges of development and growth in the past and how its legacy for reinvention is being called on today to face the challenges that lie ahead.
