Most metropolitan cities around the world are considered to be the greenest with lush parks and strong green infrastructure. While
Boston may not be as large, it is still a very densely populated city and has a strong green network in place known as “The Emerald Necklace”. As the metropolis grew, the “The Necklace” stayed and was surrounded by the city. This small metropolitan area should
aspire to create a network that would make Boston even greener than the rest by creating parks and spaces for recreation. How can we
create this new green system within an already established city
infrastructure?
By looking at how a city infrastructure could be transformed with the addition of green spaces that could be added within, on top or even on the side of building. The “Rope Walk” Building will serve as an example of how a city infrastructure, such as a hotel, could be applied with a green space. This principal could be reused all over the city to create a lush, beautiful, green network.
