Boston - Waterfront

The Boston waterfront has seen many changes since it's early beginnings as a colonial shipping port. In the first half of the 19th century, it underwent a massive landfill project and gained 100 acres in size. After experiencing a period of decline for most of the 20th century, new life was breathed into the area in the mid 1970's with an ambitious redevelopment plan. Today, there is an interesting mix of residential and commercial space here. When the Central Artery is torn down in the upcoming years, the area will be reconnected with the rest of the city.
