I Want To Be Metropolitan: Boston Case Study
Referencing a child being asked, What do you want to be when you grow up?, these authors ask Boston what it wants to be when it grows up. Boston answers, "I want to be metropolitan." Boston is still a growing city, importing characteristics from much bigger cities. But can a "Second Tier, Boutique City" ever become another New York? Using Boston as a case study, this book identifies how other cities can start understanding themselves within a metropolitan context.
