Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated account of the creation of the Charles River Basin, focusing on the precarious balance between transportation planning and the stewardship of the public realm. The Charles River Basin, extending nine miles upstream from the harbor, has been called Boston's "Central Park." Yet few realize that this apparently natural landscape is a totally fabricated public space. Two hundred years ago the Charles was a tidal river, edged by hundreds of acres of salt marshes and mudflats. Inventing the Charles River describes how, before the creation of the basin could begin, the river first had to be imagined as a single public space. The new esplanades along the river changed the way Bostonians perceived their city; and the basin, with its expansive views of Boston and Cambridge, became an iconic image of the metropolis. The book focuses on the precarious balance between transportation planning and stewardship of the public realm. Long before the esplanades were realized, great swaths of the river were given over to industrial enterprises and transportation—millponds, bridges, landfills, and a complex network of road and railway bridges. In 1929, Boston's first major highway controversy erupted when a four-lane road was proposed as part of a new esplanade. At twenty-year intervals, three riverfront road disputes followed, successively more complex and disputatious, culminating in the lawsuits over "Scheme Z," the Big Dig's plan for eighteen lanes of highway ramps and bridges over the river. More than four hundred photographs, maps, and drawings illustrate past and future visions for the Charles and document the river's place in Boston's history.

Book excerpt: The Special Commission on the Charles River Basin was established to investigate methods of making the Charles River Basin more safe, suitable, and attractive for recreation (Resolves 1928, c 16). The final printed report was the result of research, hearings, and testimony of state and town officials. It consists of the text of the resolve; general history of the basin; summary of improvements since 1901; recommendations for additional improvements to parks, bridges, and roadways; summary of costs; excerpt from a report of the commissioner of public health; and text of a draft act providing for the construction of parkways and improvements in streets in Boston and Cambridge, which served as the basis for St 1929, c 37. Interspersed with the text of the report are photographs and plans, and tipped into the report is a map of proposed development of Cambridge Street to the Charles River Dam.

Download or read book The Charles written by William P. Marchione and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Colonia era through the industrial age and into modern times, the Charles River has been a prominent feature of the New England landscape and has undergone a series of dramatice changes. First the site of important Revolutionary battles, the Charles later became home to myriad commercial interests, including lumberyards, slaughterhouses, arsenals, and businesses. The Charles has long been the location of three prominent universities, but only recently has the river come to serve as a recreational and scenic haven for residents and visitors of Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Watertown, and Newton. The 1970s landmark Clean Water Act did much to transform this much-used waterway into a lovely and popular spot for walking, jogging, cycling, boating, sailing, rowing, picnicking, swimming, fishing, and even windsurfing.
