The exhibition showcases historic maps of Boston from the Boston City Hall from August 31 to December 31, 2013. The maps were provided by organizations including the Boston Public Library Map Center and Boston Redevelopment Authority. They illustrate the changing cityscape of Boston over time through maps of the entire city as well as specific neighborhoods like Roxbury and the South Boston Waterfront. The maps show the transformation of the city from the Revolutionary War period to the present day.
This exhibition at Boston City Hall from August 31 to December 31, 2013 showcases maps from the Boston Redevelopment Authority collections that illustrate historic changes to Boston and three neighborhoods: Roxbury, the Greenway, and the South Boston Waterfront. The maps were selected to tell the story of the changing cityscape over time through reproductions of actual historic maps, and to demonstrate the evolution of mapmaking. The goals are to provide examples of cartography changes and illustrate dramatic changes to Boston while showcasing the work of map centers.

The document discusses Boston's efforts to become a leader in green technology and clean energy. It describes the creation of an Innovation District to attract cleantech companies and help commercialize new innovations. The district aims to be a "living lab" where companies can test and demonstrate products using the city infrastructure. Officials believe Boston is well-positioned for this due to its universities, support for green policies, and goal of connecting the cleantech sector to job growth. The city has set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2020 and continues striving to be one of the greenest in the US.
Boston's annual population estimate from 2000 to 2010 is shown in a line graph. The graph depicts three population estimates over time: the original census estimate, the resolved challenge estimate, and the census count. The resolved challenge estimate line is consistently lower than the original census estimate line, showing downward revisions made by the Census Bureau between 2005-2010.
This document discusses how the US may face a labor shortage in the coming years as the baby boom generation reaches retirement age. While population growth is projected to be highest among those aged 55 and older, immigration and longevity may not provide enough new workers to fill an expected 14.6 million new jobs between 2008-2018. The social sector, including healthcare, education, non-profits, and government, is projected to see significant job growth and may provide opportunities for encore careers for older workers looking to stay active in the workforce beyond traditional retirement age. Encouraging longer work among older age groups could help address the potential labor shortage.
The document describes the development of a Triple Bottom Line Calculator tool to help cities evaluate capital investments. The tool calculates the economic, environmental, and social benefits of investments in areas like energy efficiency, renewable energy, transportation, and development. By inputting details of a project, the calculator can estimate outcomes such as energy savings, cost-benefit ratios, and payback periods to help cities strategically direct investments and justify decisions. The tool was created through a partnership between several cities to provide a standardized way to assess all types of benefits from capital expenditures.
The document outlines an informational meeting to discuss public art opportunities at the Boston Marine Industrial Park (BMIP). The agenda includes welcoming remarks, an introduction to the Innovation District and BMIP, a call for entries for temporary public art installations, virtual and physical tours of potential art sites, and a question and answer session. Details are provided on the Boston Art Commission's role in approving public art on city property and a timeline for the temporary art exhibition is presented.

Boston homeowners are invited to attend free foreclosure prevention counseling and loan modification clinics hosted by The Boston Home Center on February 15th and March 15th from 6-8pm. The clinics will provide professional advice to help homeowners explore mortgage options and learn how to reduce their monthly payments through The Boston Home Center's unbiased and confidential counseling services.
The document summarizes Boston's pilot urban agriculture project which aims to increase access to healthy and affordable food. It discusses rezoning parts of Dorchester and Mattapan to allow farming on vacant city lots. The proposed zoning changes would allow cultivation of plants, herbs and vegetables as well as composting on four city-owned lots totaling over 58,000 square feet. A public hearing will be held in February 2011 with the goal of selecting participants and beginning planting for the 2011 growing season.
According to the document:
- As of fall 2010, Boston's economy was recovering from the recent recession like the rest of the nation. Two pillars of Boston's economy - healthcare and higher education - were expected to continue growing.
- Between 2000-2009, Boston's population grew 9.5% to over 645,000 residents. The population has become more racially and ethnically diverse, with immigrants, particularly from Asia and Latin America, fueling growth.
- Boston has a highly educated population, with over 41% of residents having at least a bachelor's degree as of 2006-2008, the 5th highest rate among major US cities.
The First Church of Christ, Scientist is proposing a revitalization of its 14.5-acre Christian Science Plaza in Boston. The project aims to enhance the open space, improve environmental sustainability, and plan for underutilized real estate. A Citizens Advisory Committee has provided input on the plans over 17 meetings. Proposed improvements include upgrading the Reflecting Pool and Children's Fountain, adding landscaping, and considering development on two sites to generate funds for plaza maintenance. The project aims to balance the Church's goals with community priorities by maintaining historic resources and limiting impacts on traffic, wind, shadows, and infrastructure.
This document summarizes a symposium to conceptualize a new vision for Boston City Hall, the Plaza, and Government Center. The goals are to identify sustainability best practices and innovative ideas to green the area and catalyze greening throughout Government Center. Experts will provide feasible and cutting-edge solutions for buildings, City Hall, and the Plaza, setting sustainability criteria. Multiple comprehensive visions will be crafted to revitalize the Plaza's spaces and accommodate public uses. Key issues and goals will be identified for a subsequent design charrette.

Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey ...SirmaDuztepeliler
"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.
