Living in Boston
When describing Boston, many people discuss the city’s unique architecture, diverse population and variety of entertainment options. Many of the city’s historical sights and centers of culture are contained within a five square mile (8 sq km) area, making Boston one of the most walker-friendly cities in the nation. Boston also boasts some of the world’s leading academic institutions, including M.I.T. and Harvard University, making it a hub of innovation. Blending its historical roots with high-tech companies, modern infrastructure and leading academic institutions, Boston is a clean, compact and diverse city.
While the city has never stopped reaching for the future and welcoming high-tech companies, it has lovingly preserved the treasures of its past, cherishing its patriotic connections with the Boston Tea Party and Bunker Hill. It is a living symbol of the melting pot early residents fought to create, including lively ethnic neighborhoods and sedate sanctuaries of old wealth. Each seems a world unto itself, yet each is an integral part of Boston's urban identity.
