Book excerpt: The evolution of the Boston metropolitan area, from country villages and streetcar suburbs to exurban sprawl and “smart growth.” Boston's metropolitan landscape has been two hundred years in the making. From its proto-suburban village centers of 1800 to its far-flung, automobile-centric exurbs of today, Boston has been a national pacesetter for suburbanization. In The Hub's Metropolis, James O'Connell charts the evolution of Boston's suburban development. The city of Boston is compact and consolidated—famously, “the Hub.” Greater Boston, however, stretches over 1,736 square miles and ranks as the world's sixth largest metropolitan area. Boston suburbs began to develop after 1820, when wealthy city dwellers built country estates that were just a short carriage ride away from their homes in the city. Then, as transportation became more efficient and affordable, the map of the suburbs expanded. The Metropolitan Park Commission's park-and-parkway system, developed in the 1890s, created a template for suburbanization that represents the country's first example of regional planning. O'Connell identifies nine layers of Boston's suburban development, each of which has left its imprint on the landscape: traditional villages; country retreats; railroad suburbs; streetcar suburbs (the first electric streetcar boulevard, Beacon Street in Brookline, was designed by Frederic Law Olmsted); parkway suburbs, which emphasized public greenspace but also encouraged commuting by automobile; mill towns, with housing for workers; upscale and middle-class suburbs accessible by outer-belt highways like Route 128; exurban, McMansion-dotted sprawl; and smart growth. Still a pacesetter, Greater Boston has pioneered antisprawl initiatives that encourage compact, mixed-use development in existing neighborhoods near railroad and transit stations. O'Connell reminds us that these nine layers of suburban infrastructure are still woven into the fabric of the metropolis. Each chapter suggests sites to visit, from Waltham country estates to Cambridge triple-deckers.

Book excerpt: The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 provided the funds for Massachusetts to build a system of highways that threatened to cut through various neighborhoods in the greater Boston area. A broad coalition of people put a stop to these plans in 1972, and advocacy at the federal level allowed for highway funds to be shifted to public transportation projects. Many organizations within this coalition had broader goals of improving the livelihoods of their communities beyond just shutting down highways. Since equitable public transportation can play a key role in improving economic mobility, this thesis explores how changes in public transit stemming from the Boston anti-highway movement impacted nearby neighborhoods and assesses the areas that may still be lacking in access to adequate transit today. In 1987, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) used the funds, which were previously allocated for highways, to close down the old Elevated Orange Line on Washington Street and to build a new Orange Line along the Southwest Corridor nearby. As the replacement for the Washington Street Elevated, the Silver Line opened fifteen years later in the form of a bus route with aspects of bus rapid transit. For this thesis, I conducted a demographic analysis of the census tracts surrounding these two corridors and found that the Orange Line moved from an area with relatively lower incomes, lower education levels, and higher African-American population to an area with relatively higher incomes, higher education levels, and higher non-Hispanic White population. The Silver Line, a bus service inferior to the Orange Line trains, was put into the comparatively disadvantaged corridor. Zooming out to the rest of Boston, I conducted a geospatial analysis comparing the supply of transit, with respect to job access, to the demand, measured through a series of demographic indicators, and found the areas where the MBTA does not provide equitable service, especially for transit-dependent populations. Dorchester, in particular, stands out as a neighborhood with a high density of low-income, less-educated, minority populations without adequate public transit to get to economic opportunities.
