Chinatown Profile Census 2000
605 CHINATOWN PROFILE CENSUS 2000 (POPULATION, HOUSING, AND EMPLOYMENT DATA) September 19, 2003 Sue Kim Planning Department and Gregory W. Perkins Research Department Boston Redevelopment Authority Boston Redevelopment Authority Mark Maloney, Director Clarence J. Jones, Chairman Consuelo Gonzales Thornell, Treasurer Joseph W. Nigro, Jr., Co-Vice Chairman Michael Taylor, Co-Vice Chairman Christopher J. Supple, Member Harry R. Collings, Secretary CHINATOWN DEMOGRAPHIC AND HOUSING PROFILE, 2000 Location and Size The boundaries used for Chinatown in this profile are the same as the two Census Tracts 702 and 704 which comprises about 137 acres of land area or only two tenths of a square mile. This area covers approximately from Boylston and Beech Street on the north to East Berkeley Street on the south and from Charles Street South and Tremont Street on the west to Albany Street on the east. Chinatown is adjacent to Downtown Boston, bordered by the Boston Common and Downtown Crossing on the north to the South End on the south, and then from Park Square and Bay Village on the west to the Southeast Expressway on the east. It includes most of the Theater District, some of Emerson College, and most of the Tufts/New England Medical Center. These two Census tracts have a population of 6,015 with 4,169 Asians. If you include about ten blocks north of these two Census tracts in Census tract 701 there are about another 1,000 Asians. But because the study is limited to Census Tract boundaries and because Census tract 701 includes the Midtown, Waterfront and Devonshire areas, with many more non-Asians, it is not included in this study of Chinatown.

Report of the Board of Metropolitan Park Commissioners (1898)
A Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/reportofboardofm00mass_4 PUBLIC DOCUMENT No. 48. REPORT ~ Board of Metropolitan Park Commissioners. J^ANUARY, 1899. BOSTON : W RIGHT & POTTER PRINTING CO., STATE PRINTERS, 18 Post Office Square. 1899. A CONTENTS. PAGE Report of the Commissioners, 5 Report of the Secretary, 18 Report of the Landscape Architects, 47 Report of the Engineer, 64 Financial Statement, . 86 Analysis of Payments, 99 Claims (chapter 366 of the Acts of 1898), 118 KEPOKT. The Metropolitan Park Commission presents herewith its sixth annual report. At the presentation of its last report the Board was preparing to continue the acquirement of the banks of Charles River, and was engaged in the investigation of avail- able shore frontages and of certain proposed boulevards. Towards the close of its last session the Legislature made an appropriation of $1,000,000 as an addition to the Metropolitan Parks Loan, but further takings were de- layed until the uncertainties of war were clearly passed. Acquirements of land and restrictions have been made or provided for however along Charles River as far as Hemlock Gorge, so that the banks for 19 miles, except where occu- pied by great manufacturing concerns, are in the control either of this Board or of some other public or quasi public body. A noble gift of about 700 acres of woods and beau- tiful intervales south of Blue Hills and almost surroundingr Ponkapog Pond has been accepted under the will of the late ' Henry L. Pierce. A field in Cambridge at the rear of « Elm- wood," bought as a memorial to James Russell Lowell, has been transferred to the care of this Board, one-third of the purchase price having been paid by the Commonwealth and the remaining two-thirds by popular subscription, and will be available if desired as part of a parkway from Charles River to Fresh Pond.

Testimony of the Boston Municipal Research Bureau
333 Washington Street, Suite 854, Boston, MA 02108 T(617-227-1900 F(617)227-2815 www.bmrb.org Testimony of the Boston Municipal Research Bureau Before the Boston City Council's Committee on Economic Development and Planning August 2, 2010 Regarding: Docket #0997, In Support of a Downtown Boston Business Improvement District Mr. Chairman, my name is Sam Tyler, President of the Boston Municipal Research Bureau and I am here today to testify in support of Docket #0997 to authorize creation of the Downtown Boston Business Improvement District. The Research Bureau's office on Washington Street is situated in the middle of Downtown Boston and we firmly agree that the mix of commercial, retail, hospitality, nonprofit institutional and residential property in the area and the foot traffic of over 200,000 people daily demand a higher level of services than the City now provides. We believe that the supplemental services that a BID will offer beyond the City's baseline services will help revitalize Downtown Boston and support long- term enhanced maintenance of the area. The Downtown Boston BID will encompass an area from the top bound by Tremont Street between Government Center and Boylston and Essex Streets and at the bottom by Congress and High Streets. The Research Bureau has been involved with evaluating plans to create a Downtown Boston BID since the first effort in 1998 and later in 2002. We originally raised concerns that the City of Boston does not provide services commensurate with the service needs of this district or the taxes generated in the area.
