Study Area 5 looks at 42.8 square kilometers across four neighborhoods within the City of Boston: Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, Hyde Park, and West Roxbury. These neighborhoods are situated inland from the coast, south of the downtown core, and east of neighboring Brookline. The existing land use patterns can be traced to the area’s early settlement as the gateway to the City of Boston proper before Boston’s major land reclamation efforts and annexation of surrounding townships.
The following proposals engage with the past to reveal and capitalize on latent opportunities in the present as a strategy to generate emerging future scenarios.
