Book excerpt: Why and how Boston was transformed by landmaking. Fully one-sixth of Boston is built on made land. Although other waterfront cities also have substantial areas that are built on fill, Boston probably has more than any city in North America. In Gaining Ground historian Nancy Seasholes has given us the first complete account of when, why, and how this land was created.The story of landmaking in Boston is presented geographically; each chapter traces landmaking in a different part of the city from its first permanent settlement to the present. Seasholes introduces findings from recent archaeological investigations in Boston, and relates landmaking to the major historical developments that shaped it. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, landmaking in Boston was spurred by the rapid growth that resulted from the burgeoning China trade. The influx of Irish immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century prompted several large projects to create residential land—not for the Irish, but to keep the taxpaying Yankees from fleeing to the suburbs. Many landmaking projects were undertaken to cover tidal flats that had been polluted by raw sewage discharged directly onto them, removing the "pestilential exhalations" thought to cause illness. Land was also added for port developments, public parks, and transportation facilities, including the largest landmaking project of all, the airport. A separate chapter discusses the technology of landmaking in Boston, explaining the basic method used to make land and the changes in its various components over time. The book is copiously illustrated with maps that show the original shoreline in relation to today's streets, details from historical maps that trace the progress of landmaking, and historical drawings and photographs.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite having an extensive commuter rail network, Boston is also known for its traffic congestion and long commute times. The suburbs account for a significant share of Eastern Massachusetts office employment. Yet, the MBTA Commuter Rail primarily serves a single purpose, transporting suburban residents to and from their workplaces in Boston. Only a small share of morning peak riders use the train for suburb-to-suburb commutes or reverse city-to-suburb commutes, and a very small share of Eastern Massachusetts suburban office jobs are directly accessed via Commuter Rail alone. This disconnect between the Commuter Rail and suburban office employment locations raises the question of whether the land areas surrounding suburban rail stations are being utilized to their full potential as transit-oriented employment destinations. Through the application of regional planning and smart growth principles, this research project uses GIS mapping tools and quantitative analysis methods to explore the interrelated patterns of office employment, Commuter Rail ridership, and land use in Eastern Massachusetts and the Boston metropolitan area. Beginning with the hypothesis that very few suburban office jobs are currently being accessed by morning peak Commuter Rail riders, I first perform a quantitative assessment of the spatial distribution of office employment in Eastern Massachusetts, as well as existing Commuter Rail ridership patterns. I then seek to apply regional planning and smart growth principles to identify suburban Commuter Rail stations that are most suitably located to accommodate Eastern Massachusetts' future office employment growth, to understand the existing land use patterns around such stations, and to estimate the capacity for future office space development at each selected station area. For station areas that both meet the locational criteria and have the physical land capacity to potentially become future office subcenters with agglomeration benefits, I then calculate the range of estimated additional office employment that could be accommodated at such subcenters.
