Through
visits to various cities I have compiled information and thoughts I feel relate
to Boston and my project. I've started out with a few key issues that I feel
are important. Recreation/Commercial/Residential - The integration of these
three aspects of urban life is always an issue in any city. I hope to come
to some conclusion as to what constitutes a successful relationship. History
- As compared with many other American cities Boston is unique because of its
historic nature. The question faced by a city of this type is how to respect
the past while continuing to look towards the future. Tourism - All cities have
to deal with this issue, but I feel it is more of an issue with historic cities.
Balance is again the key, The functioning city must continue even with a constant
influx of tourists. The following pages contain my perceptions and some insights
how they could relate to the project and Boston in general.
