Colombia Point, A Boston History

Created by Emily Coello

Columbia Point, a Boston History focuses on the Columbia Point housing project that was completed in 1954, and was Boston’s last large-scale housing development. The project explores the history of public housing, changes in postwar Boston, racial tensions, and more.

Unfortunately, the data visualizations, which used cenus data to show changing demographics, are no longer available. Nonetheless, the text and images provide great insight into this important history.

This project is in the process of being migrated and will be made available soon.
