Rose Kennedy Greenway

When Boston's Big Dig project plunged previously elevated roadways underground, the city found itself rich in prime urban land. Community and political leaders seized the opportunity to enhance Boston's city life by providing additional parks and gardens to connect some of its oldest, most diverse and vibrant neighborhoods. With this challenge, Greenway designers set out to balance natural beauty and landscaped grace with the vitality and dynamism of a 21st Century city.

The Greenway brings urban boulevards built on a pedestrian scale to Boston's dense old downtown neighborhoods.
