  • Debating Diversity Following the Widely Publicized Deaths of Black Tape
    KENNEDY SCHOOL, UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The Harvard Kennedy School aims to build students’ capacity for better public policy, wise democratic governance, international amity, and more. Now it is addressing its own capacity issues (as described at harvardmag.com/ hks-16). In January, as seen across Eliot Street from the northeast (opposite page), work was well under way to raise the level of the interior courtyard, install utility space in a new below-grade level, and erect a four-story “south building.” The project will bridge the Eliot Street opening between the Belfer (left) and Taubman (right) buildings with a new “gateway” structure that includes faculty offices and other spaces. The images on this page (above and upper right) show views diagonally across the courtyard from Taubman toward Littauer, and vice versa. Turning west, across the courtyard toward the Charles Hotel complex (right), affords a look at the current open space between buildings; the gap is to be filled with a new, connective academic building, including classrooms.

  • Codman Square: History (1630 to Present), Turmoil (1950-1980)
    Codman Square: History (1630 to present), Turmoil (1950-1980) and Revival (1980-2000): Factors which lead to Racial and Ethnic Placement, Racial Segregation, Racial Transition, and Stable Integration By William J. Walczak Introduction The study of the history of a community can reveal the role of geographic, topographical, social, cultural and technological forces in the development and change of communities in the United States, and what brings them together and pulls them apart. The neighborhood described in this study – Dorchester – is interesting as a subject, for its history is nearly as old as America itself. The town of Dorchester was settled in 1630, and was a farming community for nearly 250 years before developing into a suburban, then urban, area. Yet to summarize Dorchester as a rural to suburban to urban neighborhood is to oversimplify. Dorchester contains as many as 36 sub-neighborhoods whose differences may not be detected by a casual passerby, but are very obvious to residents. This paper focuses on a collection of sub-neighborhoods which come together at a point of geography known as Codman Square, located in the geographic center of Dorchester. Codman Square is a fascinating place. The center point of the central Dorchester neighborhood, it has nearly 50,000 individuals. It is made up of people from fifty nations, with socio-economic and social differences ranging from low income Caribbean immigrants to working class African American districts to middle class professional neighborhoods of mixed races and lifestyles, to extremely impoverished Latino residents of housing projects. These various slivers of community today constitute a vibrant, transient, occasionally violent area which has undergone dramatic changes over the past 50 years, and has made tremendous improvements over the past 20 years after having hit bottom in the late 1970s.
